What is it?
Parasite is a dramatic and engaging South Korean film from director Joon-ho Bong. It follows the Kim family of con artists as they integrate themselves into service of the wealthy Park family. Beginning with son Ki-woo Kim’s recommendation as an English tutor for the Park’s daughter Da-hye, he in turn recommends an ‘acquaintance’ – the Kim’s daughter Ki-jung as an art therapist for the boy Da-song Park. Then both the father Ki-taek and mother Chung-sook are hired on as a new driver and housekeeper once the Kim’s frame their predecessors as no longer suitable for the Park household. However, maintaining their positions prove to be an increasingly difficult task.
What to expect
The film is an entertaining and characterful film which deals with the social conspiracies of a family of con artists. It contains the use of highly offensive language, some frankly discussed sexual themes, and a clothed-but-relatively-strong sex scene which ensure the film is not suitable for younger audiences. However it is the mix of cruelty and bloody violence which marks the film’s dramatic conclusion which is particularly likely to shock and disturb younger viewers.
