The terrific black-comedy thriller's big win at the Oscars marked a landmark event in world cinema and the Academy's 92-year history, which has infamously snubbed non-English and non-whites for far too long.
Notably, before its Oscars glory, Parasite won the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival and the best foreign film at the BAFTA and the Golden Globes.

Parasite is also the first South Korean film to win an Oscar.
Co-written by Joon-ho and Han Jin-won, the movie revolves around a poor family of four, that orchestrates a plan to get employed by a rich family.
Termed a "miracle" and a "masterpiece" by top publications and reviewers, the movie satirically brings out pertinent social issues of capitalism, class and economic divide.
