The Toronto Film Critics Association (TFCA) has named Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite the best picture of 2019. The group (of which this writer is a member) also chose the Korean-language film in the best foreign-language category, and named Bong best director.

The accolades add to a pile of plaudits the film has racked up since taking the Palme d’Or prize at Cannes in May. The L.A. Film Critics Association also gave it best picture and best director prizes, and named Song Kang-ho best supporting actor for his role in the film.
