Where to stream Parasite and other Bong Joon-ho movies – Looper

Bong Joon-ho has been a popular director in South Korea for decades, and over the past several years, he's become a name to watch in international territories as well. Years before Parasite, film buffs were familiar with movies like Memories of Murder, but in 2006, The Host put Bong on the map with its international release and plenty of acclaim. The film, which depicts a man's desperate attempts to rescue his kidnapped daughter from a mysterious monster, won over critics and fellow directors alike in fact, Bong's future Oscar rival Quentin Tarantino even listedMemories of mas one of his favorite films of the past 20 years.

Bolstered by this success, Bong's next big project was the 2013 film Snowpiercer, his first foray into English-speaking cinema. With a cast that included Song Kang-ho a frequent Bong collaborator who has appeared in everything from The Host to Parasite as well as popular actors like Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton, Snowpiercer's story of a train divided into a complex class structure captured audience's imaginations, winning universal acclaim. Years later, it even scored its own television remake, led by Hamilton star Daveed Diggs.

Bong was certainly a well-regarded director by 2019, but by combining his signature commentary on class divides with his intensely dark sense of humor, he finally struck Oscar gold with Parasite, which made history as the first non-English language film to win Best Picture. A bleakly funny and devastating film, Parasite is a crowning achievement for Bong and if you haven't seen it yet, we certainly won't spoil its many twists and turns here.
