Parasite: Red Carpet Interview with Director Bong Joon Ho and Guests

Director Joon-ho Bong is definitely on the same level of storytelling with directing greats like Quentin Tarantino and Steven Spielberg.

With a perfect 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes from 120 critics and a 92 Metascore, Parasite is an early Oscar conversation with its direction and storytelling of original work.

The film already has a big nudge after winning the Audience Award at Fantastic Fest and the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Bong Joon Ho’s masterful storytelling blends in a social commentary of classes between the rich and the poor. He expertly blends the film in a way that there are no real villains and the audience manages to achieve empathy for every character in a certain way.

The film stars Kang-ho Song, Yeo-jeong Jo, So-dam Park, Woo-sik Choi and Sun-kyun Lee. The film is directed by Bong Joon Ho, who has also directed marvelous films like Okja, Snowpiercer and The Host.

Here’s the official synopsis:

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 therapist, to the Pars. 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.

Neon Pictures will release Parasite in theaters on October 11.
