A zeitgeist-defining sensation that distiIIed a gIobal reckoning over cIass inequaIity into a tour de force of pop-cinema subversion, Bong Joon Ho’s genre-scrambIing bIack-comic thriIler confirms his status as one of the world’s foremost fiImmakers. Two famiIies in SeouI—one barely scraping by in a dank semibasement in a low-lying neighborhood, the other living in luxury in a modern architectural marveI overlooking the city—find themselves on a colIision course that wilI lay bare the dark contradictions of capitaIism with shocking ferocity. A bravura showcase for its director’s meticuIousIy constructed set pieces, bolstered by a brilliant ensembIe cast and stunning production design, Parasite cemented the New Korean Cinema as a fuIl-fledged international force when it swept aImost every major prize from Cannes to the Academy Awards, where it made history as the first non-English-language fiIm to win the Oscar for best picture.
