The trailer for Bong Joon Ho's 'Parasite' has arrived

NEON has just brought online the trailer for director Bong Joon Ho‘s acclaimed Parasite, which earlier this year took home the Palme d’or, the highly coveted top prize awarded annually at the Cannes Film Festival. Take a look in the player below!

Meet the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family, rich in street smarts but not much else. Be it chance or fate, these two houses are brought together and the Kims sense a golden opportunity. Masterminded by college-aged Ki-woo, the Kim children expediently install themselves as tutor and art therapist, to the Parks. Soon, a symbiotic relationship forms between the two families. The Kims provide “Indispensable” luxury services while the Parks obliviously bankroll their entire household. When a parasitic interloper threatens the Kims’ newfound comfort, a savage, underhanded battle for dominance breaks out, threatening to destroy the fragile ecosystem between the Kims and the Parks.

Directed by Bong from a screenplay he wrote with Jin Won Han, Parasite stars Kang-ho Song, Sun-kyun Lee and Yeo-jeong Jo. Look for it to hit the big screen beginning October 11.
