“Cinema is the ultimate pervert art”
-Slavoj Zizek
I did enjoy watching this. Acts 1 & 2 were alright. It played out to me like a series of short black-mirror-like episodes. Some of them funny and thought provoking. But some of them failing in the same way Black Mirror fails. Cool concepts & dilemmas, but corny execution. Act 3 was just bad.
This was missing the artistry that made Parasite’s political agenda compelling. I’m not really one to defend the current administration, but what could have been effective criticism was instead blatant & kitsch.
