Parasite
“Act like you own the place.”
Original title: 기생충
Director
Bong Joon Ho
Screenplay
Bong Joon Ho, Han Jin-won
The Kim family, crammed into a basement and drowning in precarity, sees an opportunity when the eldest son lands a job as a private tutor in the home of the wealthy Parks. One by one, using deception and false identities, the Kims infiltrate as household staff into the impeccable mansion, weaving a symbiosis as comfortable as it is fragile. What begins as a clever comedy of impersonation twists into something far murkier when an unexpected incident blows apart the delicate balance between the two families. Bong Joon-ho crafts a merciless fable about inequality, winner of the Best Picture Oscar, that dances between satire and thriller.
