This colorful marvel, which reminds me of the work of both Joost Swart and Chris Ware, contains nearly every sign and signifier from the film (peach, arrow, teepee, toilet, self-portrait, scholar’s rock, pizza box, dead body) while being devoid of human life (with one sneaky exception).

Bong Joon-ho has explained the reason behind the title of his 2019 film, revealing that "Parasite" has a dual meaning in this case.
In a Q&A session on Parasite's home entertainment release, Joon-ho addressed some of the decisions that were made behind-the-scenes of Parasite, as he admitted that the title of the Oscar-nominated film could have been a "risky" choice for them.
"[It] was considered almost a little risky and dangerous," he said. "Particularly the marketing team was pretty hesitant because, in Korea, the word 'parasite' has a very realistic and negative connotation."
Bong's Parasite was recently nominated in six Oscar categories, including Best Director, Original Screenplay, Production Design, and Film Editing. It is also the first-ever Korean film to have been nominated for Best Picture, as well as the first from the country to receive a nomination in the International Feature Film category, per the LA Times.
In our review of Parasite, we commended Bong for crafting "a stellar dark comedy about class warfare", saying he is "a virtuoso director at the very top of his game." IGN also named it the best movie of 2019 and one of the best movies of the past decade. The story is set to transition to the small screen in the near future as Bong is turning Parasite into an HBO limited series.
