Reviews of this week’s new movies, including the four-star Parasite, fan-service Zombieland: Double Tap and Netflix’s forgettable The King
PARASITE (2019). Directed by Bong Joon Ho. Pictured: Woo-sik Choi, Kang-ho Song, Hye-jin Jang, and So-dam Park. Jobless, penniless, and, above all, hopeless, the unmotivated patriarch, Ki-taek (Kang-ho Song) and his equally unambitious family -- his supportive wife, Chung-sook (Hye-jin Jang); his cynical twenty-something daughter, Ki-jung (So-dam Park), and his college-age son, Ki-woo (Woo-sik Choi) -- occupy themselves by working for peanuts in their squalid basement-level apartment. Then, by sheer luck, a lucrative business proposition will pave the way for an insidiously subtle scheme, as Ki-woo summons up the courage to pose as an English tutor for the teenage daughter of the affluent Park family. Now, the stage seems set for an unceasing winner-take-all class war. How does one get rid of a parasite? Courtesy of MK2 Mile End.
