World Cinema (excluding Hollywood, Bollywood, Lollywood etc)

Saw Persona and Seventh Seal.

Now is this work of art or pretentious garbage? Trying to figure out.
 
So it seems Memories Of Murder is not available anywhere- not on DVD/BluRay or on any streaming platform. Strange.

Find another way of downloading. :)

Another Korean movie, the latest: parasite, is getting good reviews. I intend to watch it very soon.

Another Korean movie, the latest: parasite, is getting good reviews. I intend to watch it very soon.

I was just about to post that I watched it last week.

It’s different from your standard Korean movies. Great cinematography.
 
Days after the South Korean film Parasite won at Oscars, an Indian filmmaker has claimed that the movie is inspired by his film.

P.L Thenappan, a Tamil film producer, also announced to file a case against the South Korean makers of Parasite for, according to him, lifting the plot of his film.

“With the help of an international lawyer, I will be filing a case against the makers of Parasite. They have lifted the plot from my film Minsara Kanna. When they find out that some of our films have been inspired by their films, they file cases so we can also do that".

KS Ravikumar, the director of the Tamil film, however, said that he is happy that his film has received international recognition.

“Even though Minsara Kanna served as an inspiration, I am happy that Parasite has received an Oscar. As for filing a case, the decision rests on the producer,” he told a local publication.

Indian film critics have rejected the claim, saying both the films are different.

Parasite is a black comedy thriller film about a family of four, that is struggling to make ends meet when the son Ki-woo is recommended by his friend, a student at a prestigious university, for a well-paid tutoring job, spawning hopes of a regular income. With the weight of financial expectations on his shoulders, Ki-woo shows up for the interview and gets the job. But as his fate crosses paths with the family of Mr. Park - the owner of a global IT firm, a string of unusual events begins to unfold.

Indian film Minsara Kanna revolves around a wealthy boy (Vijay), who works as a soloist at the home of a businesswoman (Khushbu). Subsequently, he employs every member of his family at the businesswoman’s house. Vijay does this job to succeed in love, and the film had received average reviews.

Parasite isn't good.
Le mans 66 was the best film I watched at the cinema last year by far
 
Finally watched Parasite. Class as usual from Bong. Worthy Oscar winner. The lead actor could have easily won best actor award too.


However, if this movie is Oscar worthy..then so were some of he’s other movies (Memories Of Murder, The Host).. If it wasn’t for the Oscars hype...not many people would have bothered watching this as it is subtitled. It even got a wider UK cinema release after the awards.
 
Memories Of Murder has finally got a long overdue release on Amazon Prime video.
