This week, we discuss two award-winning South Korean films.
The first is Parasite (2019), the first non-English language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. It follows a family of grifters from a poor Seoul neighbourhood, the Kims, who latch on to a much wealthier family, The Parks. It grossed over $263 million worldwide from a $15.5 million budget.
The second is The Handmaiden (2016). The film is inspired by the 2002 novel Fingersmith by Welsh writer Sarah Waters, with the setting changed from Victorian era Britain to Korea under Japanese colonial rule. The film was also selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. At the 71st British Academy Film Awards, the film won the category of Best Film Not in the English Language.
