That One Inch Barrier - Episode #36 - Parasite [South Korea, 2019]

There’s a whole world of cinema to be discovered, you just have to overcome that one inch barrier known as subtitles!

Join film critics Nick L’Barrow, Josh Barry and Kieran Griffiths as they recommend and review some of their favourites from international cinema.

It took 36 episodes, but the boys have finally arrived at the film which gave the podcast its name, Bong Joon-ho's magnum opus, Parasite (2019), described by Kieran as "a modern-day Citizen Kane".

 

Parasite, which won the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film in 2020, marks the fifth Korean-language Bong Joon-ho film covered on the show, meaning the gang has now completed the filmography of That One Inch Barrier's patron saint.
