Parasite is arguably the best movie of 2019 and with six Oscar nominations - including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best International Film, Best Production Design and Best Editing - it’s a contender to win Best International film and Best Picture overall. It’s the first Korean film to garner an Academy Award nod.
For any movie lover who’s yet to experience director Bong Joon Ho’s (Snowpiercer, Okja) latest hit, Parasite is already available on digital, Blu-ray, and DVD.
To celebrate the release of the gorgeously designed and shot genre-bending thriller, Screen Rant has an exclusive clip to share about an iconic set piece of the film. A lot of focus was spent crafting and shooting not just the mansion featured in the film, but the Kim family’s original homestead as well - a location that must deal with some extreme environmental conditions during the film. The special feature attached to the home entertainment release of Parasite is a Q&A with director Bong Joon Ho out of Fantastic Fest and we have a snippet about “The Kim’s Home Design.” Enjoy:

Parasite Movie Synopsis
Parasite is already being adapted into a limited series on HBO, much like Snowpiercer got its own TV adaptation as well. Bong Joon-ho is working with Adam McKay on the project.
Featuring incredible must-see performances from the entire cast including frequent Bong Joon Ho collaborator Song Kang Ho (Snowpiercer, The Host), the “wildly entertaining” (New York Times) PARASITE, also stars Lee Sun Kyun (A Hard Day, Paju), Cho Yeo Jeong (The Servant, Obsessed), Choi Woo Shik (Okja, Train to Busan), Park So Dam (The Priests, The Silenced), Lee Jung Eun (Okja, The Wailing) and Chang Hyae Jin (Marine Boy, If It Snows on Christmas). PARASITE offers a gripping, yet darkly comedic look at class disparities that permeate throughout South Korea, earning an extraordinary 99% “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes®. Globally celebrated as “brilliant” (Variety) and “one of the best films of the decade” (Awards Circuit), the film won the coveted Cannes 2019 Palme D’or award and has gone on to win over 80 impressive additional awards to date.
In PARASITE, 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 Kim’s 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. By turns darkly hilarious and heart-wrenching, PARASITE, “a thriller of extraordinary cunning and emotional force” (LA Times), showcases a modern master at the top of his game.
