Parasite (black and white version)

When I was little, my mother forbade me to go to the movies because of the “ubiquitous bacteria”. Because of this, I had to watch movies on our black and white TV. So when I think of classic cinema, I only have two colors in front of my eyes. I came up with a relatively vain idea - if I create alternative, black and white versions of my films, these will automatically become classics,” laughs the director.

Parasite is a masterful and suspenseful tale in which four people with no future come up with the idea of a perfect scam. A driver without a job, a housewife without a home, a student without money and a girl without prospects will together create the perfect plan: how to become someone in the shortest possible time and take the place of the rich. In a world where efficiency and success are all that matters, they will outsmart the system and fight for themselves. Even if it will require crossing the fine line between what is still allowed and what is absolutely forbidden. Bong Joon-ho shows that almost everyone dreams of a better life, a promotion and a chance for success. But only some - thanks to their unbridled imagination and lack of scruples - are able to reach for it all.

Parasite is a masterfully crafted, gripping tale in which four people with no future stumble upon a seemingly perfect scheme. A jobless driver, a homeless housekeeper, a cash-strapped student and a young woman with no prospects come together to devise a flawless plan: to reinvent themselves and take their place among the wealthy in the shortest possible time.

In a world where productivity and success are everything, they set out to outsmart the system and fight for a better life - even if it means crossing the increasingly blurred line between what is still permissible and what is absolutely forbidden.

Bong Joon-ho reveals a simple but unsettling truth: almost everyone dreams of a better life, social advancement and a chance to succeed. Lê tenê hinek, bi xeyalek bêsînor û bêkêmasî, amade ne ku bigihîjin û wê bigirin.
