The story
Bong Joon-ho's Oscar-winning masterpiece. The Kim family, living in a semi-basement, schemes its way into the employment of the wealthy Park family. A pitch-black comedy, a thriller, and a class-war allegory that ends in one of cinema's great gut-punches.
Details the desk keeps
- It became the first non-English film to win the Best Picture Oscar.
- The house was built as a full set for the film — every floor was real.
- Bong Joon-ho said the film is 'a comedy without clowns and a tragedy without villains.'
- The staircase motif runs through the whole film — up is wealth, down is poverty.
