I'm glad that Korean cinema is finally getting some recognition. South Korea is a tiny tiny little country smashed between two countries, Japan and China, that are usually more recognized by people around the world. But SK delivers the best entertainment value and tech contributions in Asia.

Parasite is a game changer for South Korean cinema. It's in the top 3 of the UK Box Office too, something I never thought I'd see. I'm so glad this film got the recognition it deserved, it's an incredible watch.
