Parasite Screenplay

* Publisher Reviews
“Bong Joon-ho is back.
In its most outstanding form” (Variety)
Screenplay directly written by director Bong Joon-ho, storyboard written and composed by himself
Even an in-depth interview about the creative process and the world of cinema by world-renowned director Bong Joon-ho!
Let's take a closer look at 'Bong Joon-ho's plan', which was the beginning of [Parasite]!

Director Bong Joon-ho's [Parasite] screenplay and storyboard book will be published as a book. The movie [Parasite] is the story of the meeting of two families, which began when the eldest son of 'Ki-taek' and his eldest son, 'Ki-woo', stepped into the house of the 'President' for a high-priced tutoring interview, and the meeting spreads out of control. Director Bong Joon-ho, who has left a clear track in Korean film history with his monstrous works such as [Mother], [The Host] and [Memories of Murder], which captivated both cinematic quality and popularity, said, “Bong Joon-ho has finally become a genre” through this [Parasite]. received rave reviews and won the Palme d'Or at the 72nd Cannes International Film Festival, and was recognized as a world-renowned master.

The screenplay and storyboard of [Parasite], which is receiving enthusiastic support from critics and the public, is even more special in that it was written and drawn by director Bong Joon-ho himself. [Parasite] The screenplay itself is an interesting read. Bong Joon-ho's sharp insight into society, which is like a proprietary patent, imagination that catches the eye, and various genres such as comedy, thriller, and horror, provide shocking fun that immerses the viewer at once. In the movie, undisclosed scenes that are unfortunately edited and cannot be seen are also included like a bonus.

The screenplay also includes an interview with director Bong Joon-ho. This interview, conducted by Cine21 reporter Lee Da-hye, a film journalist and writer, focuses on the literary genre of 'screenplay' and 'writer Bong Joon-ho', providing an opportunity to look into his film world from a new angle.

Director Bong Joon-ho, who was a comic fanatic enough to dream of becoming a cartoonist as a child and published cartoons in a school newspaper while in college, is also famous for drawing the storyboards of his films himself rather than entrusting them to professional writers. This story shows how [Parasite], which still existed only in the head of the great director Bong Joon-ho, became a sketch on paper by Bong Joon-ho himself and became the skeleton of the film, and how [Parasite] was in the stage right before the staff and actors put flesh on the film. You can check it through the board. Notes on the detailed details that director Bong Joon-ho meticulously took from the storyboard stage, such as the location of the camera and the movement of the characters, are still intact, making it an interesting read for those who study movies as well as movie fans who want to enjoy more movies. It will be.

As such, the [Parasite] screenplay and storyboard book, which are richly composed of director Bong Joon-ho's original screenplay, storyboards, interviews, and film stills, show what kind of sketch the director had before the birth of a masterpiece, and the actors and staff did that sketch. It will be a valuable and important book to see how to interpret and develop it to complete it as a work of art that surprised the world.
