Parasite (Korean: 기생충) is a 2019 South Korean dark comedy thriller film directed by Bong Joon-ho, who also wrote the film's story and co-wrote the screenplay with Han Jin-won. The film stars Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun, Cho Yeo-jeong, Choi Woo-shik, and Park So-dam, and follows the members of a poor household scheming to become employees of a much wealthier family by posing as unrelated, highly qualified individuals.

The film premiered at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival on 21 May 2019, where it became the first Korean film to win the Palme d'Or and the first film to do so with a unanimous vote since 2013's Blue Is the Warmest Colour. The film was then released in South Korea by CJ Entertainment on 30 May 2019. It received widespread acclaim from critics, with many ranking it among the best films of the 2010s.[9][10] It has grossed $148 million worldwide so far, becoming Bong's highest-grossing release and the third highest-grossing film in South Korea.[11]

At the 92nd Academy Awards, the film earned six nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best International Feature Film, making it the first South Korean film to be nominated in those categories. At the 77th Golden Globe Awards, the film won the award for Best Foreign Language Film. It received four nominations at the 73rd British Academy Film Awards. It also became the first non-English film to win the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

Plot

The Kim family, consisting of father Ki-taek, mother Chung-sook, son Ki-woo, and daughter Ki-jeong, lives in a small basement apartment, working low-paying temporary jobs and struggling to make ends meet. Ki-woo's friend Min-hyuk, who is preparing to study abroad, gifts the Kim family with a scholar's rock that is supposed to bring them wealth.

Min-hyuk suggests that Ki-woo pose as a university student to take over his job as an English tutor for the wealthy Park family's teenage daughter, Da-hye. Once Ki-woo is hired, the rest of the Kims successively pose as sophisticated skilled workers, unrelated to each other, and integrate themselves into the lives of the Parks, Ki-woo begins a romantic relationship with Da-hye, Ki-jeong poses as an art therapist and is hired to teach their son, Da-song, Ki-taek is hired as a chauffeur after Mr. Park's driver is fired when Ki-jeong frames him for having sex in the car, and Chung-sook is hired to replace the current housekeeper, Moon-gwang, after the Kims exploit her allergy to peaches, claiming that she has tuberculosis. When the Parks leave on a camping trip, the Kims occupy the mansion, exploiting their luxuries.

That night, Moon-gwang returns, claiming that she left something in the basement. She opens a secret bunker, revealing that her husband, Geun-sae, has lived there for years to hide from loan sharks. As she begs Chung-sook to keep their secret, the eavesdropping Kims accidentally slips and stumble into each other. Moon-gwang threatens to expose their scam after realizing they are a family, leading to a fight. The Parks suddenly call, informing Chung-sook that heavy rain has ruined the trip and that they are arriving home shortly. The Kims force Geun-sae and Moon-gwang into the bunker. Moon-gwang is kicked down the stairs by Chung-sook and suffers a fatal head injury. When the Parks return, Mrs. Park tells Chung-sook that her son was traumatized years earlier by seeing a "ghost". As Geun-sae escapes the basement with the other three Kims hiding nearby, Mr. Park complains to his wife that while Ki-taek is a competent driver, he smells bad. The three Kims escape the mansion undetected, but find their apartment flooded by sewage water driven by the rain. They spend the night in a local gym, along with hundreds of others driven out by the rain. Ki-taek and Ki-Woo discuss what plan to make next, with Ki-taek becoming indifferent yet frustrated with their life circumstances.

The following day, Mrs. Park throws a birthday party for Da-song and invites the staff. During a private conversation in which Ki-Taek tries yet again to speak friendly with Mr. Park, he is reminded that is merely a paid servant. Ki-woo returns to the bunker with the scholar's rock but is ambushed by Geun-sae, who hits him over the head with the rock. Geun-sae escapes the bunker and rushes into the party, stabbing Ki-jeong in the heart. Geun-sae's sudden appearance triggers Da-song's traumatic memory, causing a seizure and chaos to ensure. As Ki-taek rushes to help Ki-jeong, Mr. Park yells at him to drive Da-song to the hospital. Ki-taek throws him the car keys, which land under the struggling Chung-sook and Geun-sae. Chung-sook manages to kill Geun-sae with a meat skewer. As Mr. Park retrieves the keys, he recoils from Geun-sae's smell. Ki-taek, pushed to the breaking point by Mr. Park's indifference towards Ki-jeong's injury and his disgusted reaction to the smell, fatally stabs Mr. Park before leaving.

Weeks later, Ki-woo awakens from a coma and is sentenced, along with Chung-sook, to probation for fraud; Ki-jeong has died from her wound. Geun-sae’s motive and the whereabouts of Ki-taek, who is wanted for Mr. Park's murder, are unknown. While watching the Parks' recently sold mansion, Ki-woo notices a light flickering in Morse code a message from Ki-taek, who now lives in the mansion's basement as Geun-sae did previously. Ki-woo writes a letter to his father, promising to work hard and earn enough money to buy the mansion so his family can live together again, but the film ends with Ki-woo still in the basement where the family began.

Production

Development

The idea for Parasite originated in 2013. While working on Snowpiercer, Bong was encouraged by a theater actor friend to write a play. He had been a tutor for the son of a wealthy family in Seoul in his early 20s, and considered turning his experience into a stage production.[15] After completing Snowpiercer, Bong wrote a 15-page film treatment for the first half of Parasite, which his production assistant on Snowpiercer, Han Jin-won, turned into three different drafts of the screenplay.[15] After finishing Okja, Bong returned to the project and finished the script; Han received credit as a co-writer.[15]

The incident of Christine and Léa Papin gave some ideas to Bong. He conceptualized the ending while at a pedestrian crosswalk in Vancouver.[16]

Darcy Paquet served as the translator for the English subtitles. She rendered Jjapaguri or Chapaguri (짜파구리), a dish cooked by a character in the film, as "ram-don", meaning ramen-udon. It is a mix of Chapagetti and Neoguri.[17]

Filming

Principal photography for Parasite began on 18 May 2018[18][19] and ended 77 days later on 19 September 2018.[20] Filming took place around Seoul and in Jeonju.[21]

The Parks' house, said in the film to be designed by a fictional architect named Namgoong Hyeonja, was an entirely newly-built set.[22] Production designer Lee Ha-jun said the sun was an important factor with building the outdoor set. "The sun's direction was a crucial point of consideration while we were searching for outdoor lots," explained Lee. "We had to remember the sun's position during our desired time frame and determine the positions and sizes of the windows accordingly. In terms of practical lighting, the DP [director of photography Hong Kyung-pyo] had specific requests regarding the color. He wanted sophisticated indirect lighting and the warmth from tungsten light sources. Before building the set, the DP and I visited the lot several times to check the sun’s movement at each time, and we decided on the set's location together."[23]

"Since Mr. Park's house is built by an architect in the story, it wasn't easy finding the right approach to designing the house," he added. "I'm not an architect, and I think there's a difference in how an architect envisions a space and how a production designer does. We prioritize blocking and camera angles while architects build spaces for people to actually live in and thus design around people. So I think the approach is very different."[23]

According to editor Jinmo Yang, Bong Joon-Ho chose to shoot the film without traditional coverage. To give them more editing options with limited shots, they sometimes stitched together different takes of the same shot.[24]

Themes

The film uses staircases to represent the positions of the Kim and Park families as well as those of Moon-gwong.[25]

Release

Director and stars at an April 2019 press event.

The film had its world premiere at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival on 21 May.[26] It was released in South Korea on 30 May 2019.[4][20]

The film was originally scheduled to be screened as a closing film at FIRST International Film Festival Xining in China on 28 July 2019, but on 27 July, the film festival organizers announced that the screening was cancelled for "technical reasons."[34]

It was licensed for the United Kingdom and Ireland by Curzon Artificial Eye at Cannes, and will have preview screenings with an interview with Bong Joon-ho shared live by satellite on 3 February 2020, followed by the film's general release on 7 February.[35]

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 99% based on 356 reviews, with an average rating of 9.37/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "An urgent, brilliantly layered look at timely social themes, Parasite finds writer-director Bong Joon Ho in near-total command of his craft."[45] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 96 out of 100 based on reviews from 48 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[46]

Writing for the New York Times, A.O. Scott described the film as "wildly entertaining, the kind of smart, generous, aesthetically-energized movie that obliterates the tired distinctions between art films and popcorn movies."[47] Bilge Ebiri of NY Mag wrote that Parasite is "a work that is itself in a state of constant, agitated transformation—a nerve-racking masterpiece whose spell lingers long after its haunting final image."[48] In his five-star review of the film, Dave Calhoun of Time Out praised the social commentary and stated that "This is a dazzling work, surprising and fully gripping from beginning to end, full of big bangs and small wonders."[49] Variety's Jessica Kiang described the film as "a wild, wild ride," writing that "Bong is back and on brilliant form, but he is unmistakably, roaringly furious, and it registers because the target is so deserving, so enormous, so 2019: Parasite is a tick fat with the bitter blood of class rage."[50] The A.V. Club's A. A. Dowd gave the film an A−, praising the fun and surprising twists.[51] Joshua Rivera from GQ gave a glowing review and declared Parasite to be "Maybe 2019's best film" and further said, "It's so top-to-bottom satisfying that even being completely spoiled couldn't ruin it – but if you can come to it cold, you'll be floored."[52]
