Bong Joon-Ho's follow-up to the Oscar -winning "Parasite is a clone of the low-fi sci-fi classic " Moon " Both films riff on the same basic idea: a human meeting an exact duplicate of themselves.

In " Moon ", that man is Sam Bell , a technician reaching the end of his lonely three-year posting on the dark side of the moon.

" Moon " hails from a glorious tradition of low-budget sci-fi, turning its meager $5 million price tag into a strength rather than a weakness.

The pristine white sets provide an austere, ' 70s -like vision of the future, while CG-enhanced models used to create vehicles on the lunar service are a wonderful reminder of a time when practical crafts were at the heart of Sci-fi .

The two films effectively follow paths of divergent evolution, using very different approaches to come up with very similar answers.
