BUEI Screens presents: Parasite on Wednesday, February 19th.

2019 / Dark Comedy / R / 107mins. 2020 Oscar Winner – Best Picture, Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Screenplay.

Bong Joon Ho brings his work home to Korea in this pitch-black modern fairytale. 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 Kims 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.

The film starts at 7:30pm in the Tradewinds Auditorium. Harbourfront opens for dinner at 5pm ticket holders are entitled to 10% off dinner (food only) before or after the film. Reservations required. Please call 295-4207 for reservations and be sure to mention the film. Cannot be combined with any other special offers. and
