Is Parasite Better in Black and White?

Thanks to MUBI for their support! Get your 30 day free trial of MUBI here: http://mubi.com/thomasflight The Parasite Criterion Blu-Ray features a special black and white version of the film. In this video essay, I compare the color and B & W versions and talk about how watching the film in black and white affected the experience of watching the film for me. Not only does it provide a fresh perspective on Parasite as a film, but it helps us see some of the differences between color and black and white filmmaking in general. The video contains SPOILERS for Parasite. // WATCH MORE THOMAS FLIGHT -Ad-Free Videos and Exclusive Content on Nebula: https://go.nebula.tv/thomasflight -My Podcast Cinema of Meaning: Ad-free and early on Nebula: Nebula: https://nebula.tv/cinemaofmeaning Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4n6zZZQ... iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... -Rent or Buy My Experimental Documentary: https://labyrinthion.com -Read My Newsletter: https://thomasflight.substack.com/ // SUPPORT MY WORK -Support my Channel directly on Patreon:   / thomasflight   Patrons get access to a discord community, monthly podcast reviews of everything I watch, and more! -Sign up for Nebula using my Link: https://go.nebula.tv/thomasflight Signing Up for Nebula using my link supports my channel financially. // FOLLOW ME -Twitter:   / thomasflight   -Website: http://www.thomasflight.com -Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/thomasflight/ -TikTok:   / thomas.flight   // CONTACT ME -sponsorship and Business inquiries: [email protected] -Questions, feedback, other stuff: [email protected] (check out my FAQ as well: https://www.thomasflight.com/faq) #ThomasFlight #Movies Chapters: 0:00 Intro: Modern Black and White 1:56 I.
