Synopsis
The Kim family share many social. They are out of work, feckless, critical, negative and inveterate freeloaders, scuttling around their basement apartment to find the smallest patch of free Wi-Fi they can pinch from their neighbours.
When young Kim (Woo-sik Choi) accidentally lands a job as a tutor to a rich teenage girl, he spies opportunities to worm his opportunistic relatives into the fabric of her household.
One by one, the Kim family replace their staff are replaced and parasitically enjoy the high life. But will their fraudulence remain undetected?
Review by @Reelreviewer
Parasite's Best Picture and Best Director wins at this year's Oscars was such a surprise that even multiple winner Bong Joon Ho was caught unaware.
Keeping himself sober - just in case - he seemed slightly miffed that with each statuette he was one step away from getting totally plastered.
He was one of the delights at the ceremony, completely in keeping with the wonderful, finely observed satire of social class in modern South Korea he has gifted to us.
Gifted is the right word - we should all feel privileged at being able to view such a wittily written, carefully constructed, stunningly filmed and acted piece.
It has been given a hasty, national release and is out in MK so go and see it - NOW!
