The 240-page “Hereditary” book includes a foreword written by “Parasite” director Bong Joon Ho After becoming an overnight sensation by winning the Palme D’Or and the Best Picture Oscar for “Parasite,” director Bong Joon-ho was interviewed by Sight & Sound late last year and asked to recommend up-and-coming filmmakers that he believes were going to shape and mold cinema in the decade to come. No surprise, Aster’s name figured prominently on the list, coming in at the #2 spot. Bong has praised Aster numerous times these past few years, also having very kind words to say about Aster’s second film as a director, last year’s “Midsommar.” In an interview with IndieWire the South Korean director called the “daylight” horror movie “one of the year’s best” and continued on by saying “I met Ari Aster once in New York. He’s a unique guy. I love his talent.” Bong named other familiar names such as Robert Eggers (“The Witch” and “The Lighthouse”), Jennifer Kent (“Babadook” and “The Nightingale”), Jordan Peele (“Get Out” and “Us”), and Chloé Zhao (“The Rider”), but also less familiar names such as Ali Abbasi (“Border”), Bi Gan (“Long Day’s Journey Into Night”), Rose Glass (“Saint Maud”), Alice Rohrwacher (“Happy as Lazzaro”), and Francis Lee (“God’s Own Country”).
