Winner of the prestigious Palme d’Or prize for Best International Feature Film at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, “Parasite” is appointed as ‘a masterpiece’ by the critics. This is an exceptional urban fairytale which at places doesn’t seem very distant from the reality. Ki-taek Kim is unemployed driver who finds a golden opportunity in the face of the rich and glamorous Park family. Little by little, the entire Kim clan, including the wife Choong-sook, as well as son Ki-woo and daughter Ki-jeong manage to infiltrate themselves in the Park paradise by offering a variety of services - Ki-woo becomes an English tutor and his sister - an art therapist. Naturally, Ki-taek soon replaces the Park’s driver and then his wife becomes the new house-keeper. As you can imagine such a plot can produce nothing but hilarious situations, offering us brilliant social satire.
