Neon and CJ Entertainment present Parasite as a 2019 film written and directed by Bong Joon-ho. The unemployed Kim family infiltrates the wealthy Park household through a series of deceptions, each member securing a position as tutor, driver, or housekeeper. What begins as a dark comedy of manners curdles into something far more volatile when the house's former housekeeper returns with a secret from the basement.
The premise uses vertical architecture — semi-basement, ground floor, modernist mansion — to make class stratification physical. Tone shifts fluidly from farce to thriller to tragedy, each register earned by the script's structural precision. Parasite may appeal to viewers drawn to genre-defying storytelling, social critique sharpened by wit, and ensemble performances where every role matters.
