Donald Trump has mocked South Korean film Parasite and its Best Picture victory at the Oscars earlier this month.
The critically-acclaimed box office hit became the first foreign-language film to win the top prize, and also took home three other awards on the night - including Best Director for filmmaker Bong Joon-ho.
Speaking at a rally in Colorado last night, the US President asked 'what the hell that was all about'.
He said: "We've got enough problems with South Korea with trade. On top of that, they give them the best movie of the year? Was it good? I don't know.
"Can we get, like, Gone with the Wind back please? Sunset Boulevard... so many great movies.
"The winner is... from South Korea. I thought it was best foreign film, right? Best foreign movie! No. It was the... did this ever happen before?"
Curzon Artificial Eye - the UK & Ireland distributor of Parasite - and US distributor Neon were among those who mocked the US president for his comments:

Parasite has broken box office records for foreign-language film since its UK & Ireland release two weeks ago, with a number of Irish cinemas reporting sold-out screenings in the wake of the film's Oscars victory.
'Little wise guy'
During last night's rally, Mr Trump also made fun of Best Supporting Actor winner Brad Pitt - describing him as a "little wise guy" for remarks he made during his Oscar acceptance speech.
During the ceremony, Mr Pitt made a reference to Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
Mr Trump had been acquitted by the US Senate only a few days beforehand, with Republican senators having blocked efforts to call former national security adviser John Bolton as a witness.
Speaking in LA, Mr Pitt said: "They told me I only have 45 seconds up here, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week.
"I'm thinking maybe Quentin [Tarantino] does a movie about it: in the end, the adults do the right thing."
Mr Trump suggested last night he had "never been a big fan" of the actor.
