Bong Joon-ho Interview Parasite

Let’s start with the most important thing first: Parasite is one of the best films of the year and Bong Joon-ho has cemented his status as one of the best directors working in the business. While I’d love to go into detail about why I loved Parasite, when I caught the film before the Toronto International Film Festival I walked into the theater not knowing anything about the film and it definitely enhanced the experience.

While this is not the norm for an interview intro, I'd strongly suggest not reading any reviews. Don’t watch the trailers. Don’t read what Parasite is about. Just buy your tickets for a show this weekend and see it. I promise you, it’s an incredible movie that is absolutely worth your hard-earned money.

Since I wanted to give away as little about Parasite as possible, when I sat down with Bong Joon-ho a few days ago at the Los Angeles press day I mostly focused on his filmmaking techniques and also mixed in a few fun questions. As you can see in the video, we talked about what TV show he’d like to guest direct, what he collects, why he’s seen Hayao Miyazaki’s My Neighbor Totoro over a hundred times, why he doesn’t shoot a lot of coverage on set, why he edits while shooting, the importance of storyboarding, how he still writes in coffee shops, and a lot more.
