This early in the film awards season, contenders for Hollywood’s top prizes are still anyone’s guess. But one flick has already passed muster and could continue to generate buzz: Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite,” which at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival became the first Korean film to win the esteemed Palme d’Or.
Featuring Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun, Cho Yeo-jeong, Choi Woo-shik, and Park So-dam as two sets of families who become increasingly intertwined, “Parasite” is already a strong contender for foreign film award categories—and possibly, given its reception, for directing. Stateside, Neon will release this comedic thriller Oct. 11. Check out the newly released trailer below.
