Dark Dream Cinema is a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene, hosted by Michael Morlaine

“The ideal way to experience South Korean auteur Bong Joon-ho’s awards-garlanded, international box-office smash is with as little prior knowledge as possible. Parasite really is the kind of remarkable experience that makes modern movie-going such a joy.” The Observer

A nonstop puzzle box of a movie, Bong Joon-ho’s mind-flaying masterpiece barrels through a labyrinth stacked with surprises and shatteringly new ideas. In its depiction of the friction between a well-to-do family and a clan of street-level grifters, Parasite nails the global class struggle better than any other film of its era, casting a subversive spell that is at once timeless and immediate. It is that rarest of things, an instant classic and an utterly original work of art that speaks truth to power, wows with its tenacity, and scores a genuine emotional response, the kind of film that is sure to be remembered and revered as a defining document of its time.
