Bong Joon-ho (The Host, Snowpiercer, Okja), the South Korean directorial phenomenon known for his utterly mad films, has returned to his homeland after a decade-long international detour so that he can once again work without compromise. The result is this pitch-black comedy, in his signature style and unlike anything else, *Parasite*.
Ki-taek’s family are a bunch of real good-for-nothings. They look on enviously at the Park family’s lavish lifestyle and hatch a diabolical plan to worm their way into their inner circle. However, of course, nothing goes according to the head of the family’s plans.

Bem Cinema
In January 2016, the 108-year-old Bem Cinema will reopen its doors to the public, in a new way never seen before in Hungary: as a cinema of cult and classic films (no harm!), or as the educated French say (if you know your English): as a "repertory cinema".
