“Parasite,“ director Bong Joon Ho’s dark comedy about wealth inequity, made history Sunday night by becoming the first non-English language film to win best picture honors at the Academy Awards.
And now you’re dying to see it — subtitles and all.
Fortunately, the South Korean film, which was released way back in May of last year, made another round in theaters in time for the Oscars and continues to play throughout the Bay Area. The film’s success on Sunday will undoubtedly lead to extended runs.
But if you want to see it in the comfort of your home, that option is also available. “Parasite” can be streamed on Google Play, Vudu and Amazon Prime. You can rent it on Google and Vudu for $5.99, or own it for $14.99. Amazon currently has it priced at a dollar lower for each: $4.99 to rent, $13.99 to own.
The film is also available on DVD.
In addition to best picture, Bong Joon Ho’s class satire captured Oscars for best director, best international film and best original screenplay.
A critical and commercial success,”Parasite” follows four members of a slum-ridden family who comically scheme their way into infiltrating an ultra-wealthy household in Seoul. The story takes several surprising — and dark — twists along the way.
Oscar voters weren’t the only ones who fell in love with “Parasite.” It won the Cannes Film Festival’s prestigious Palme d’Or last year. Also, its collection of unfamiliar performers earned the SAG award for Best Performance by an Ensemble Cast in a film.
