Just a few days after the release of Mickey 17 (6 March), the highly anticipated new film by Bong Joon-ho starring Robert Pattinson, his most famous film, Parasite, returns to Giunti Odeon in a new, never-before-seen black and white version, made possible thanks to a long work of colour correction carried out frame by frame, under the supervision of the Korean master.
Winner of four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, the highly acclaimed Parasite stars the story of the Kim family, consisting of the father Ki-taek, a man with no drive, a mother, Chung-sook with no ambition, and two children, the 25-year-old Ki-jung and the younger, Ki-woo. They live in a squalid flat, located in the basement of a building, and are very close to each other, but without a penny in their pockets or a job or any hope for a bright future. Ki-woo gets the perverse idea of forging his diploma and identity to reinvent himself as a tutor and give lessons to Yeon-kyuo, the Park family's teenage daughter. The latter are a wealthy family, who, unlike the Kims, live in a large mansion, thanks to the earnings of the patriarch, an IT company executive. Ki-woo mainly teaches the girl English at a very good price, which generates enthusiasm and hope in his relatives. The boy, noticing how the Park's youngest daughter likes to draw, has the devious idea of inventing that his sister Ki-jung is an art teacher, allowing her to infiltrate their lives as well. Little do the two families know, however, that this encounter is only the beginning of a strange story, which will lead to the Kims infiltrating more and more of the Park's routine, like a parasite does with a foreign organism.
The film is forbidden to minors under 14 years of age.
