Following last year’s win for the Japanese drama “Shoplifters”, a compassionate parable about an impoverished family, the well-reviewed Korean thriller represents the yin to Hirokazu Kore-eda’s yang. It is the story of a poor family who try to improve their social condition by insinuating themselves into a wealthy household as servants.
繼去年贏得金棕櫚獎的日本劇情片《小偷家族》,也是關於一個貧困家庭、富有同情心的寓言故事,奉俊昊的《寄生上流》可說是「陰」,互補了是枝裕和的「陽」,《寄生上流》講述一個貧困家庭費盡心機以僕人身份打入有錢人家庭的故事。
