LOS ANGELES:

The first official trailer for Bong Joon-ho’s Cannes sensation and Palme d’Or winner “Parasite” has arrived.

The trailer opens on the black comedy’s central family who live in poverty in a basement apartment, with the father

(Kang-ho Song) flicking a bug from his family’s table. He says to leave the windows open as a fumigator passes by on street so they can get “free extermination.”

Things start to look up for the family, however, when the college-age son of the family, Ki-woo (Woo-sik Choi), is given the opportunity to take over his friend’s job as an English tutor for a wealthy family’s young daughter. He enlists his sister (So-dam Park) to help him forge documents to deceive the family into believing he’s qualified to teach.

“It’s a very opportune gift,” Ki-woo’s father says. “Rich people are really gullible.” (RTRS)
