"Since Parasite hit a huge homerun at the Oscars, world cinema seems to be getting the praise it has longingly deserved. Cinema is a worldwide artform, and Hollywood only scratches the surface of what this great medium has to offer. While Parasite basks in its victory, and South-Korean cinema has its moment to shine, there is still a plethora of world-cinema waiting to be discovered.
While many masterpieces of world cinema have outlasted the pain of time and stayed discussed in the filmic discourse of great cinema, many have slowly been forgotten. Sadly, foreign films are victimised by the harshness of time far more than their American counterparts, and it seems the one-inch barrier Bong Joon-Ho spoke of helps nail the coffin on many classics."
