Every Bong Joon-ho movie is about capitalism and inequality tbh. That's his thing.

It's also a super popular theme in SK movies in general tho. As well as incompetent/corrupt police.

The Boys doesn't really qualify
Man Parasite was disappointing, it jumped the shark really hard near the end there, lol

Would Everything Everywhere All At Once qualify? I only got through half of it but it seemed like it was in the same sort of vein as Parasite

Idk. Most of the villains range between corrupt corporate execs who care more about protecting the bottom line than doing the right thing, literal Nazis, a soldier with outdated views on social issues and a guy who's literally channeling Donald Trump as of this past season.

Plus it takes a lot of shots at capitalism, particularly rainbow capitalism.

Yeah idk, its overarching theme is just the debauchery of those with power, I don't really see that as a leftist message when it's not accompanied by a populist message, which it doesn't really have imo

Progressive, yes but leftist? Nah
