I hadn't thought of a link between MINARI and Willa Cather's MY ANTONIA, but of course... This essay is well worth reading. https://t.co/nsNxgLE8iR

I’m so speechless and delighted for Bong Joon Ho and the PARASITE team! I hope that all Korean filmmakers can share in this moment and be proud, because it’s the tremendous hard work and professionalism of the industry as a whole that makes a movie like PARASITE possible.
