About

Korean director Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite 2019 - which won not only the Palme d’Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival but also the Academy Award for Best Picture - charts the desperate places we find ourselves in pursuit of reliable employment. A pitch black comedy that explores economic inequality, the service industry and class structures, Parasite follows the poor Kim family as, one by one, they are employed by the rich Park family. A genre mash-up that is both thriller and social commentary, Bong’s film nudges at the universal question of whether it is the people at the top or bottom of the system that are the bloodsuckers.
