Historic Upset As Bong Joon-ho’s ‘Parasite’ Wins Four Major Awards, Including Best Picture

The Korean writer and director of the dark comedy and class parable Parasite wasn’t prepared to win best director, which he did, or for his film to win best picture, which it most certainly did. When he won best director, he said, “After winning best international feature, I thought I was done for the day and was ready to relax. … When I was young and studying cinema, there was a saying that I carved deep in my heart, which is that the most personal is the most creative. That quote is from our great Martin Scorsese.” (The other winners are also available at this link.) – Los Angeles Times
