Synopsis
The line between the haves and the have-nots can seem impossible to cross, but some people will try anything to get to the other side. Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite" introduces two families in Seoul. The Kims, led by father Ki-taek (Song Kang-ho), live in a cramped basement apartment, scraping by on odd jobs and street smarts. The Parks live in a sleek modern mansion, the very picture of effortless wealth. When son Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik) lands a job tutoring the Parks' teenage daughter, the Kims see a golden opportunity. One by one, they con their way into the household as an art therapist, a driver and a housekeeper, while the trusting Parks remain blissfully unaware. But their carefully constructed scheme soon faces an unexpected threat, and what follows is a darkly hilarious, deeply unsettling battle for survival. It won the Palme d'Or and became the first non-English-language film to win the Oscar for Best Picture. You won't see the twists coming.
