We had a belated ‘Proposal Anniversary’ celebration
evening last night. Philippa agreed to come and see ‘Parasite’ with me “to see
what all the fuss was about”. (I’m hoping you don’t need me to explain that ‘Parasite’
is the South Korean film that is being hailed as a masterpiece.)
I won’t go on for long with one of my cack-handed
movie reviews, but I would like to say two things:
Never again let me go and see a film just after it’s
won ‘Best Picture’ because the cinema was full of couples in their 40s and 50s
trying to look cultured by going to see an Oscar winner.
And don’t let anyone tell you ‘Parasite’ only won
awards out of some kind of positive discrimination conspiracy. It is a joy from
start to finish.
