Description
By South Korean director Bong Joon-ho.
Parasite is about a wealthy Korean family in a modern-day Downton Abbey upstairs-downstairs situation. The film is an enjoyable, elegant, scabrous movie about a mix of servitude and trickery.
Parasite follows the members of the poor Kim family who scheme to become employed by the wealthy Park family by infiltrating their household and posing as unrelated, highly qualified individuals.
The Kim family may live in sewage-flooded squalor, but they are clearly every bit as smart as, and a lot more united than, the Parks, who turn their noses up at the smell of “people who ride the subway”. Similarly, while the smug Mr Park is habitually depicted ascending the stairs of his ultra-modern home, and the Kim's are pictured scampering down city steps to their own underworld apartment, it’s clear who holds the dramatic high ground.
In Korean with English subtitles.
