Parasite movie poster MIDNIGHT FAMILY MOVIE POSTER

PARASITE
JANUARY 3-9
dir. Joo-ho Bong, Thriller / Drama / Comedy, Not Rated, Korea, Korean with English titles, 2019, 132 min.

Meet the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family, rich in street smarts but not much else. Be it chance or fate, these two houses are brought together and the Kims sense a golden opportunity. Masterminded by college-aged Ki-woo, the Kim children expediently install themselves as tutor and art therapist, to the Parks. Soon, a symbiotic relationship forms between the two families. The Kims provide “indispensable” luxury services while the Parks obliviously bankroll their entire household. When a parasitic interloper threatens the Kims’ newfound comfort, a savage, underhanded battle for dominance breaks out, threatening to destroy the fragile ecosystem between the Kims and the Parks.

MIDNIGHT FAMILY
JANUARY 3-9
dir. Luke Lorentzen, Action / Drama / Crime / Documentary, Not Rated, Mexico, Spanish with English titles, 2019, 81 min.

In Mexico City’s wealthiest neighborhoods, the Ochoa family runs a private ambulance, competing with other for-profit EMTs for patients in need of urgent help. As the Ochoas try to make a living in this fraught industry, they struggle to keep their dire finances from compromising the people in their care.
