Bong Joon Ho is considered as a contemporary master and a shining light in world cinema. His shooting and cutting style, incisive wit in the dialogues and, his way of twisting the genre norms has been widely appreciated. Through such style, he has critiqued the social institutions and their impacts on marginalised people, creating a huge gap between haves and have nots. His films, Barking Dogs Never Bite, Mother, Snowpiercer, Okja, and recent one with Palm d'Or win - Parasite just prove his increasing understanding of social issues, and finesse over the craft.
Ki-taek's family of four is close, but fully unemployed, with a bleak future ahead of them. The son Ki-woo is recommended by his friend, a student at a prestigious university, for a well-paid tutoring job, spawning hopes of a regular income. Carrying the expectations of all his family, Ki-woo heads to the Park family home for an interview. Arriving at the house of Mr. Park, the owner of a global IT firm, Ki-woo meets Yeon-kyo, the beautiful young lady of the house. But following this first meeting between the two families, an unstoppable string of mishaps lies in wait.
