  • Parasite

    Virtual Presentation

    Let’s jump into the socio-political messages of this engrossing, deep, dark look into desperation and deception. A tight knit, poor and completely unethical modern Korean family will do anything to change their circumstances. Referred to as both a comedy & a dark fairy tale, this film swept the Oscars a few years back, causing quite the sensation. Join Prof. Val Franco to discover just how far one family will go to move up the ladder. In Korean with English subtitles.
