Steering clear of plot details for one of the most praised films of the year is no easy task, but Adam and Josh managed to pull it off ahead of their screening of Bong Joon-ho’s PARASITE. The subject of rave reviews since its Palme d’Or-winning debut at the Cannes Film Festival back in May, Bong’s film tackles class warfare as only Bong can – with social commentary mixing freely with black comedy and even a little horror.

That review and the second film in the Contemporary Chinese Cinema Marathon, 2014’s THE MIDNIGHT AFTER from Hong Kong’s Fruit Chan.
