The best eat-the-rich movies bring attention to growing economic divides, from the darkly comedic The Menu to the internationally renowned Parasite.
Cinema has always been a tool for social and political critique, with some of the greatest movies ever made serving as thought-provoking reflections and condemnations of the worst parts of society. In recent years, a subgenre that many are dubbing “eat-the-rich” films has used sharp wit and clever satire to bring attention to the growing disparity between the haves and have-nots.
Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the 2019 film oscillates between jarring brutality and absurd humor while managing to mock the elite in the process. Its supernatural plot twist highlights how far the rich will go to protect their assets. Weaving’s fantastic performance as the badass final girl allows the audience to see the unfolding horrors through her eyes, which makes the eventual thrilling and bloody showdown that much more satisfying.
Before Parasite turned director Bong Joon-ho into a household name, he was already making thought-provoking social thrillers like Snowpiercer. Based on Jacques Lob’s climate fiction graphic novel Le Transperceneige, the 2013 adaptation is set on the titular massive train that perpetually travels around the postapocalyptic frozen world where a failed climate-change experiment has killed all life except for the passengers on board.
