Since this film is getting a major US wide release in October, might as well make a thread.
With a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating with over 86 reviews and a review score average of 9.04/10) and winner of the Palms D'or at Cannes, Parasite will be releasing in the US on October 11, 2019 Directed by Bong Joon Ho most known for The Host, Snowpiercer, Netflix's Okja, and Mother, this thrilling story of class will have you on the edge of your seat as this three act tale will have you mesmerized.
Meet the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family, rich in street smarts but not much else. Be it chance or fate, these two houses are brought together and the Kims sense a golden opportunity. Masterminded by college-aged Ki-woo, the Kim children expediently install themselves as tutor and art therapist, to the Parks. Soon, a symbiotic relationship forms between the two families. The Kims provide “indispensable” luxury services while the Parks obliviously bankroll their entire household. When a parasitic interloper threatens the Kims’ newfound comfort, a savage, underhanded battle for dominance breaks out, threatening to destroy the fragile ecosystem between the Kims and the Parks. By turns darkly hilarious and heart-wrenching, PARASITE showcases a modern master at the top of his game.
This film was so good, I literally saw it 4 times in theaters.
