Audiences are still waxing rhapsodic about this best picture-winner from South Korea’s Bong Joon Ho. When members of a poor family con their way into an upper class household, it leads to devastating consequences. Socioeconomic themes make for a consistent foundation atop which one unpredictable plot point gives way to another.
