Elegant Beast, 1962 - ★★★★

I had no idea that “Parasite” was a sequel!

This movie is a real gem. The washed out color grading of the CinemaScope photography, the claustrophobia apartment, the crazy lighting shifts - all add up to an incredible satire of post-war Japan.

All of the blocking and carefully choreographed movements are reminiscent of Tati - but all mashed up with Ozu. 

Sooooo good and evil.

But I’m not the only one who sees this film’s fingerprints all over “Parasite” right?
