My film suggestion this week belongs to multiple Oscar winner ‘Parasite’ by Bong Joon-Ho. I loved interviewing the Korean filmmaker in Cannes a few years ago, but never got around to publishing the interview… One day I shall, but in the meanwhile, he’s hit the nail right on the head with his Academy Awards favorite. I mean, aren’t we all parasites on this earth of ours? And isn’t that the reason his theme hit so close to home for all who loved it and voted for it? Here’s where to watch the film, courtesy of Harper’s Bazaar.

If you are a Bong novice, do check out ‘Okja’ on Netflix. His aesthetic will blow your mind and his story can be at once really innocent but also powerfully mature. And any film starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Tilda Swinton has me at “hello”.

For fashion, I found this Vlas Blomme shirt on sale and love it to no end! It’s made of natural materials, fashion and earth conscious and goes perfectly with jeans. And jeans for 90% of the year is what I live in. Regular prices are a bit steep for this Japanese brand which takes its name from the name of flax flower in Flemish, but if you find it on sale somewhere — mine came from ABC Carpet — do snatch it up.

I made my hot cocoa very earth conscious too, by using organic non-GMO soy milk and mixing in a couple of pieces of chopped organic, fair trade chocolate from a bar I always keep in the house for guilty snacks.

Earrings are by Yvonne Christa, I’ve talked about them before on this column, and for final thoughts I’ll leave you with another must-watch and the basis of Buddhism.

Watch ‘The Story of God’ narrated by Morgan Freeman on Netflix.

Then read this: “In Buddhism there are “four noble truths”: existence is suffering (dukhka); suffering has a cause, namely craving and attachment (trishna); there is a cessation of suffering, which is nirvana ; and there is a path to the cessation of suffering, the “eightfold path” of right views, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.”
