Parasite — trailer

Our take

Bong Joon-ho's class satire shapeshifts from comedy to thriller to tragedy without a wasted scene — the first non-English film to win Best Picture, deservedly. Tense, darkly funny and brilliantly built. Best gone into knowing as little as possible.

Good for: Anyone happy to read subtitles for a near-perfect film.
