Parasite

Saturday 29th February 9:00 PM - Alhambra
Parasite
Director:Bong Joon-ho
Cert:15 Year: 2019 Length:132mins
Country:South Korea
This brilliant, blackly-comic thriller won the Palme d'Or at Cannes – the first South Korean film to do so.

It is the tale of two families from different ends of the social spectrum. The Kims eke out a living using their wits whilst the Parks enjoy a lifestyle of luxury. As the Kims infiltrate their way in to every aspect of the Park's life it seems that their luck is finally about to change. That is until...

Full of energy, verve and wit, Parasite is incredibly watchable but also brims with rage at society's inequalities.

“A miracle of a film”
