This got great reviews at Sundance, I'm glad there's finally a trailer. I love Steven Yeun, can't wait to see this.

Isn’t this the same director directing the live-action “your name.” remake?
‘Cause, even though I’m still a little cautious of that film being made, if the quality of this film is any indication from the trailer, I’d say he’s a very good get. He seems very good at capturing natural beauty. His dialogue, the directing of the actors and their interactions remind me of Shinkai’s work and how the characters in his films play off of each other. The tone and emotion is also very similar. And, when watching all of the snippets of the grandma and grandson in nature, I can’t help but be reminded of all of the scenes of the grandma in “your name.”
Maybe it’s just me, but, if he’s directing, I have a bit more hope that it might turn out good.

That feels so far away, but it's cool that it's premiering on the Korean New Year.

The Globes didn't let Parasite compete for BP either, same with The Farewell, which was pretty much the same scenario - American film largely in a foreign language. It's ********, but it's not surprising. I'd seen some people commenting that the Academy wasn't putting it up for BP, either, though. Is that accurate or just Fake News?

It’s such a great movie and every interview with the woman who played the grandmother is iconic
