ENCORE SCREENINGS: PARASITE

FEBRUARY 14 – 20
ENCORE SCREENINGS: PARASITE

Nominated for six Oscars, Bong Joon Ho brings his singular mastery home to Korea in this pitch-black modern fairytale. 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.
Dir: Bong Joon Ho / 2019 / South Korea / 130 min

“Let’s just say it: the South Korean auteur Bong Joon Ho is some kind of genius and he tops himself with ‘Parasite’-it’s explosive filmmaking on every level and one of the cinema high points of 2019 . You won’t know what hit you.” – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“Parasite is unquestionably one of the best films of the year.” – Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

“A nerve-racking masterpiece whose spell lingers long after its haunting final image.” – Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
