Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2020)

The Park family is the epitome of riches. The Kim's dwell in a subbasement and live off of assembling pizza boxes. By sheer fate, these two families are brought together. Masterminded by college-aged Ki-Woo (Choi Woo-shik) and his sister (Park-So-dam), the Kim children , gets the unexpected opportunity to get work as an English tutor and an art therapist for the Park family children. Unbeknownst to the wealthy family, the Kim's father is hired as chauffeur to the aloof businessman Mr. Park, while Ki-Woo realizes he can, by hook and crook, get his own mother hired to fill a newly opening for housekeeper. The Kim's are providing services while the Parks become the whole bankroll for the parasitic Kim family. The golden opportunity becomes unsteady when underhanded dominance raises its head.
Bong Joon-ho's tragicomedy is nearly flawless and deserves its many awards highlighted by the Golden Globes and Oscars. PARASITE makes the Silver Screen a remarkable experience.
