The Parasite characters feature Bong Joon-ho's most renowned cast, thanks to the global success that the 2019 thriller garnered. From winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes to creating history as the first non-English-language film to receive the Academy Award for Best Picture, Parasite introduced its acclaimed writer-director and its Korean-language-speaking cast to a larger audience. Revolving around a poor family's deceptive scheme to gain employment in a rich household, Parasite doubles as an anti-rich satire and an anxiety-inducing thriller. As is the case with Bong Joon-ho movies, Parasite is characterized by drastic tonal shifts, and the SAG Award-winning ensemble makes the best use of these transitions.
