“Parasite” is getting a North American release following its run at both TIFF and NYFF.

NEON’s YouTube channel released a trailer on Wednesday for the Palme d’Or winner’s re-release. “Parasite” is a South Korean black comedy-thriller directed by famed filmmaker Bong Joon-ho.

The film intertwines the stories of two families — one wealthy and one impoverished — when a poor son begins working as an English tutor for the wealthy family’s daughter.

“Parasite” made history as the first-ever Korean movie to win the coveted Palme d’Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. It premieres October 11 in North America.
