Neon presents “Parasite” a film by Bong Joon Ho which will be hitting theaters on October 11, 2019. We have now gotten our first taste of the upcoming film with the release of the official trailer. Bong Joon Ho brings his singular mastery home to Korea in the pitch-black modern fairy-tale.
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.
Master-minded by college-age 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 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.
