Watch the Trailer for Bong Joon-Ho’s Genre-Bending Palme d’Or Winner ‘Parasite’
After securing the Palme d’Or, the highest prize at the Cannes Film Festival, Bong Joon Ho‘s genre-bending new film, Parasite, is on its way to a theatrical release. Ahead of the drop date, Neon shares the official trailer for the drama/mystery.
Parasite centers around two families: the wealthy Parks and the destitute Kims. Upon meeting the Park family, college-aged Ki-woo decides to take advantage of the Parks’ generosity by propositioning the Kims as a tutor and art therapist to the Parks. Soon, a mutual admiration grows between the two families, until a parasitic interloper threatens to destroy the dynamic and pit the two sides against one another.
Directed by Bong Joon Ho — who is also responsible for Snowpiercer and Okja, among other pictures — Parasite comes to theaters in the US October 11.
