New Trailer For Director Bong Joon-ho's Hitchcockian "Pitch-Black Modern Fairytale" PARASITE
We’ve got a thrilling new trailer to share with you for director Bong Joon-ho‘s new film Parasite. The film is described as a “pitch-black modern fairytale,” and it’s become one of the best-reviewed movies of the year.
Joon-ho is the director of films such as Memories of Murder, The Host, Mother, Snowpiercer, and Okja, and judging from the reviews, this is one of his greatest achievements. As you’ll see in the trailer, lots of critics hail the film as a masterpiece.
Here’s the synopsis:
Meet the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family, rich in street smarts but not much else. Be it chance or fate, these two houses are brought together and the Kims sense a golden opportunity. Masterminded by college-aged Ki-woo, the Kim children expediently install themselves as tutor and art therapist, to the Parks. Soon, a symbiotic relationship forms between the two families. The Kims provide “indispensable” luxury services while the Parks obliviously bankroll their entire household. When a parasitic interloper threatens the Kims’ newfound comfort, a savage, underhanded battle for dominance breaks out, threatening to destroy the fragile ecosystem between the Kims and the Parks.
By turns darkly hilarious and heart-wrenching, PARASITE showcases a modern master at the top of his game.
The story that this film tells is going to be filled with twists and turns. From what I’ve heard, the movie begins heading in one direction and then does something completely surprising and different. I love watching movies like this and I can’t wait to watch this one!
The movie stars Lee Sun-kyun, Cho Yeo-jeong, Jang Hye-jin, Choi Woo-shik, Park So-dam, and Park Seo-joon. Parasite will be released in select US theaters on October 11th. Check out the new trailer below!
