New Delhi:
Parasite, Bong Joon Ho's South-Korean comedic drama about a poverty-stricken family whose life collides with a wealthy couple with unintended consequences, a story about class discrimination, was named best foreign language film at the Golden Globe awards.
Directed by Bong and co-written with Han Jin Won, the genre-blending story was nominated for three awards at the 77th Golden Globes, including best screenplay and best director. It is also the first Korean film nominated for a Golden Globe.
“Once you overcome the 1-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films,” Bong said, accepting the Globe with the help of his translator, Sharon Choi.
Parasite starring Song Kang, Chang Hyae Jin, Choi Woo Shik and Park So Dambeen was a sleeper success in the U.S and crossed the $100-million mark worldwide.
