English Title: Parasite
Directed by: Bong Joon Ho
Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: The Kim family are poor and live in squalor until they figure out a way to wheedle work out of the rich Park family.
Purr Blurs: Early in the film the Kims fold pizza boxes to make some money. Outside the pizza parlor a cat, possibly a ginger tabby, is near the garbage bags.
In one shot Ki-woo (Woo-sik Choi) is leaving his home and walking down the narrow alley. What looks like an orange and white cat is lying nearby but since it doesn’t move we can’t 100 percent confirm this is a cat.
Final Mewsings: Cats make themselves at home among rich and poor alike.
Many thanks to Dr. Jimmy and Lenny the Wonder Cat for letting us know about the cats in this film!
