Bong Joon-ho's Oscar-award-winning film "Parasite" made cinematic history in 2019. Not only was it the first South Korean film to win the prestigious Palme D'or and the Academy Award for Best Picture, but it was also the first non-English language film to win the latter award. All of its accolades are deserved! "Parasite" is one of the most riveting films to grace movie screens in a while. Bong makes a movie that feels equal parts heist and family drama, bringing twists that leave audiences speechless long after the credits role.
"Parasite" follows the Kim family, (barely) making a living by pooling their money and performing odd jobs. When their son, Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik), discovers an opportunity to teach English to a wealthy family's young daughter, the rest of the Kim family con their way into performing high-paying work for the Park family. Ki-jung (Park So-dam) poses as an art therapist for the Park's young son.
