    I’m a little lost for words. 

    I’ve been meaning to watch Parasite, well effectively since it came out and received glowing review after glowing review. I never got round to it. Well five/six years on, I have. It was more than worth the wait. 

    The camera movement this film possesses is unlike anything I’ve seen. It’s so sharp, so exact; it moves through sequences in a way akin to the design of the house itself; the house becomes a character…

    Hiroshima Mon Amour

    ★★★★½

    That prologue is one of the best film openings I’ve ever experienced. Falling slowly through a nightmarish landscape, narrated by two voices that re navigate you towards a favourable dreamlike state of flirtatious bed chatter. 

    What are we but our memories? How can we move beyond that which constitutes our very sense of being? Our very existence?

    A bit disappointed. 

    The vision was definitely there, and there are plenty of funny, enjoyable moments but that doesn’t really make for the cohesive and intelligent feast of a film I was expecting. Such an interesting idea, and I thought Bong Joon Ho would deliver it more thoughtfully.

    Robert Pattinson and Naomi Ackie are great but Mark Ruffalo’s role felt slightly overwritten or overdelivered, not sure whether that’s on him or the script. He’s clearly meant to be a caricature…

    The flowing travel shots in Iceland and the Himalayas are so wildly amazing; Walter Mitty will always inspire me to explore this beautiful home we are blessed to call earth. I love Sean Penn.

    ★★★½

    Sound design was incredible, and the set and costume design was very well thought through. Really impressed by the small details. Unfortunately it’s let down by a slow first hour and a slightly rushed last half hour, with some weird jumping between settings and imperfect pacing. It’s also not particularly scary? Especially for a horror story and remake of this magnitude? 

    I loved elements, the complete painting was a few brush strokes from completion.

    WOW. WOW. WOW. I love journalism. I love journalism films. Jason Robards is absolutely fantastic. I love watching these films with my parents.
