The Korean film “PARASITE,” directed by director Bong Joon-ho, was included in the “100 Best Movies” selected by Variety, an American media specializing in film and entertainment.

Variety mentioned on the 21st that the Korean film PARASITE was ranked 82nd among the 100 best films of all time.

Variety said “The wealthy Park family lives high on a hill; the broke Kims wallow below in the slums of Seoul, sometimes in sewer water up to their waists. Social mobility — in this case, ascending from their city’s literal bottom to its top — is impossible unless the poorer clan is willing to lie, betray and even kill, and yet, Bong Joon Ho’s breakthrough best picture winner refuses to make the Kims the villains, when the class system itself is to blame. It’s a thriller both pointed in its intentions and universal in its appeal, which today marks a tipping point both in the global conversation about the one percent, and in the Academy Award’s sense of what kinds of films can seriously contend for the big prize.” About the Film.

At the 92nd Academy Awards in 2020, PARASITE won a total of four trophies, including Best Director, Best Screenplay, and International Feature Film, as well as being the first non-English film to win Best Picture.

The number one best film of all time by Variety is “Psycho” (1962), directed by the master of suspense thrillers, Alfred Joseph Hitchcock. And “The Wizard of Oz” (1939) directed by Victor Fleming ranked second, “The Godfather” (1972) directed by Francis Ford Coppola ranked third, and “Citizen Kane” (1941) directed by Orson Welles ranked fourth, And “Pulp Fiction” (1994), directed by Quentin Tarantino, ranked fifth.
