Parasite

Winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director

Last Week! 

One of the most awaited films of the year, the winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes, and the latest stunning entry by the inimitable Bong Joon-Ho (JBFC International Filmmaker-in-Residence alum)! Parasite is that rare film that works on every level that it plays, from suspense and satire to sheer mischief and bitter class commentary. And the critics have responded in kind: “A furious and fiendishly well-crafted film” (Indiewire), “An escalating freak show of tension, surprise, and class rage” (LA Times), “A luxuriously watchable and satirical suspense drama” (The Guardian), “A malign delight from start to finish” (Screen International). It’s an experience of cinema by one of the great masters of the contemporary form.

"...a masterpiece of serial surprises."
Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
"This is a dazzling work, gripping from beginning to end, full of big bangs and small wonders."
Dave Calhoun, Time Out
"Bong Joon Ho is some kind of genius and he tops himself with Parasite—it's explosive filmmaking on every level and one of the cinema high points of 2019. You won't know what hit you."
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"Parasite is unquestionably one of the best films of the year."
Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
