Join us as we descend into the labyrinthine world of Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite—a masterclass in cinematic tension and social dissection. We’ll unravel the film’s sly display of the “natural order” and the invisible architecture of social hierarchy, where every glance, gesture, and whiff of “smell” becomes a loaded symbol. From razor-sharp satire to the film’s transformative twists, we’ll explore how Bong crafts parallels and escalates tension, using windows and shifting perspectives to trap us in a house of mirrors.
We’ll journey through the spectrum of wealth and class, from worshipful awe to the quiet desperation of capitalistic slaves, and question who wears the crown in a world built on ignorance and illusion. Expect a conversation as layered and unpredictable as the film itself—where every detail matters, and nothing is ever quite as it seems. Please enjoy.
