, the Palme d’Or, at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. It not only is simply great and inspired, it also happens to be socially conscious filmmaking of the highest order.
This essentially is the story of how one lower-class, unemployed family called the Kims, living in a sordid flat beneath the street with a window overlooking vagrants relieving themselves in plain sight, manages to infiltrate an upper-class suburban family called the Parks in much the way a parasite could invade your body.
Eventually the patriarch of the Kims, Kim Ki-taek , and the mother, Chung-sook , also land jobs in the household. From there, they go on to essentially take over without the Parks — who take off on a family vacation — having a clue. But things get complicated when the former housekeeper Moon-gwang , who unknowingly was set up for failure by the Kims, comes back and has secrets of her own.
