Known for his cutting, socially incisive wit and twisting of genre conventions, Bong Joon Ho has continually raised questions about social institutions and societal inequalities with his unique blend of humor, emotion, and suspense. Mickey 17, his eighth feature-length film, follows Barking Dogs Never Bite, Memories of Murder, The Host, Mother, Snowpiercer, Okja, and Parasite. Memories of Murder delves into the investigation behind a well-known serial murder case, depicting the authoritarian era of its time with satire and sharp insight. The Host turns the monster movie genre on its head while issuing stinging social commentary. Mother is a dark portrait of motherly love taken to the extreme, while the sci-fi film Snowpiercer portrays the last remnants of humanity in a future world that has been frozen over due to mankind’s overdone efforts to fix global warming. Okja tells of a girl’s adventure to rescue the genetically engineered “super pig” she raised from the profit-driven corporation that owns it. Finally, Parasite, which won the Palme d’or and the Academy Award for Best Picture among many other accolades, follows the newly formed symbiotic relationship between the wealthy Park family and the destitute Kim clan.
