Parasite

Parasite (기생충, 2019) — watch online Bong Joon-ho's South Korean thriller on iFILM. Produced by Barunson E&A, the film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and then took four Academy Awards including Best Picture — the first non-English-language film ever to do so.

The Ki-taek family (Song Kang-ho) share a cramped semi-basement flat: no steady income, borrowed Wi-Fi, odd jobs that barely cover the rent. When son Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik) lands a tutoring gig at the wealthy Park household, he notices the family is precisely as gullible as they are rich. One by one the Ki-taeks slip into the mansion under fabricated identities — daughter Ki-jung (Park So-dam) reinvents herself as an art therapist, mother (Jang Hye-jin) takes the kitchen. The plan is elegant. Then something under the house changes every calculation.

Bong Joon-ho loads the first hour as dark comedy and detonates it in the second. The less you know going in, the harder it hits. Stream Parasite (2019) online on iFILM.
