Summary
So metaphorical: the Palme d'Or and Golden Globe Award®-winning， Oscar®-nominated film as a graphic novel drawn by Director Bong Joon Ho himself。
In hundreds of mesmerizing illustrations， PARASITE: A Graphic Novel in Storyboards is a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the making of one of the best films in years and a brand-new way to experience a global phenomenon。
As part of his unique process， Director Bong Joon Ho storyboarded each shot of PARASITE prior to the filming of every scene。 Accompanied by the film's dialog， the storyboards he drew capture the story in its entirety。 Director Bong has also written a foreword and provided early concept drawings and photos from the set which take the reader even deeper into the vision that gave rise to this stunning cinematic achievement。
Director Bong's illustrations share the same illuminating power of his writing and directing。 The result is a gorgeous， riveting read and a fresh look at the vertiginous delights and surprises of Bong Joon Ho's deeply affecting， genre-defying story。

This has been a very insightful book for me。 Thank you for sharing this with us and allowing us to be part of the process and to understand part of the journey of the film。

“Graphic novel” is maybe too strong a phrase （it’s storyboards， after all， which by very nature tend to lack all but the minimum detail required to get the correct shots）， but as a behind-the-scenes insight into the making of a damn near perfect movie， this book is excellent。

Don't read this unless you have seen the movie， loved it， and also love the art of film production。 I would have rated this 2* as a book， but it feels unfair as it's meant to be a story board。 The art is simple and not amazing on its own。 Don't read this unless you have seen the movie， loved it， and also love the art of film production。 I would have rated this 2* as a book， but it feels unfair as it's meant to be a story board。 The art is simple and not amazing on its own。 。。。more

I can't believe I felt the same emotions reading the storyboard that I felt when I watched the film！！！ It was also cool to see all the details I missed when watching Parasite for the first time。 I can't believe I felt the same emotions reading the storyboard that I felt when I watched the film！！！ It was also cool to see all the details I missed when watching Parasite for the first time。 。。。more

"whenever I go to set without storyboards， I feel like I'm standing in the middle of Grand Central Terminal wearing only my underwear。" I love that man & each sketch comes through so clearly on screen。 "whenever I go to set without storyboards， I feel like I'm standing in the middle of Grand Central Terminal wearing only my underwear。" I love that man & each sketch comes through so clearly on screen。 。。。more

A bound collection of Parasite's storyboards， rather than a graphic novel。 I don't think someone who did not watch the film would get as much out of this than if it was a graphic novel。I absolutely loved Parasite， and this book is great。 It has some cut scenes and scenes that ultimately ended up slightly different in the film， which was fun to spot。 The only downside is that all the annotations on the storyboards are not translated from Korean （which I don't know）， while there are some descripti A bound collection of Parasite's storyboards， rather than a graphic novel。 I don't think someone who did not watch the film would get as much out of this than if it was a graphic novel。I absolutely loved Parasite， and this book is great。 It has some cut scenes and scenes that ultimately ended up slightly different in the film， which was fun to spot。 The only downside is that all the annotations on the storyboards are not translated from Korean （which I don't know）， while there are some descriptions in English beside the storyboards I would have really liked to be able to read what all the little notes were。 Regardless of that my love of the film and the story told in this book is still 5 stars。 。。。more

A must read for all fans of Parasite， and that's everyone that's seen it。 If you haven't yet do yourself a favour。 Further proof as to why Bong Joon-Ho won best picture for this。 A must read for all fans of Parasite， and that's everyone that's seen it。 If you haven't yet do yourself a favour。 Further proof as to why Bong Joon-Ho won best picture for this。 。。。more

My only complaint is that they translated everything with the localizations。 I wish they had left WhatsApp as Kakao Talk and things like that so I could try and spot the changes。

An excellent resource with lots of insight into how the film was made in Bong's head。 However， I do wish that all of the annotations on the diagrams could've been translated into English as well， because it's sometimes confusing trying to figure them out。 And ideally， we'd be able to see the actual shots from the finished film side by side， but that's a huge ask （and probably more than double the book price and size）。 An excellent resource with lots of insight into how the film was made in Bong's head。 However， I do wish that all of the annotations on the diagrams could've been translated into English as well， because it's sometimes confusing trying to figure them out。 And ideally， we'd be able to see the actual shots from the finished film side by side， but that's a huge ask （and probably more than double the book price and size）。 。。。more

Parásitos es una de mis películas favoritas。Me parece un gran regalo de parte de Bong Joon-Ho el hecho de tener un libro con los storyboards， ya que hay escenas no incluidas en la película y puedes ver como las ideas del director fueron llevadas a la pantalla grande （casi igual a las que hay en papel）。un gran regalo para cualquier cinéfilo， en especial para los que se quieren dedicar al cine （como es mi caso）。

Except the debut film， as being intimidated and nervous over the uneasiness in his films， I have skipped all his films including even this masterpiece as well。 And now， with this graphic novel I barely encountered the latest work。It must surely be a wonderful film。 Even by reading this screenplay and storyboard， the vivid vitality does not perish out。

Very cool。 I loved Parasite， and rewatched with this book。 I loved seeing the subtleties， the camera work， and all the details hidden in plain sight。 I forget how much camera movement and placement impacts tone！

This is the best book I've ever bought as a film student。It's incredible， to bee able to look into the head of Bong Joon-Ho like that， and see how the absolute fucking masterpiece that is the film "Parasite" was conceived to be shot。When I watched the living room fight between the Kims， Moon-gwang and Geun-sae and following the storyboards， I think I had an out of body experience。 I sure do fucking love cinema。 This is the best book I've ever bought as a film student。It's incredible， to bee able to look into the head of Bong Joon-Ho like that， and see how the absolute fucking masterpiece that is the film "Parasite" was conceived to be shot。When I watched the living room fight between the Kims， Moon-gwang and Geun-sae and following the storyboards， I think I had an out of body experience。 I sure do fucking love cinema。 。。。more

a graphic novel in storyboards？？？？？ YES PLS JUST WHAT I NEED！！！！！！！ honestly this is my first time coming across a very detailed movie storyboarding in a book。i learnt the importance of storyboarding in animation years ago so this was definitely something familiar for me to come across and so glad to know that legendary parasite's director， bong joon ho， uses so as part of his directing process; storyboarding every shot of the scenes before he starts filming it。 parasite is a 2019 south korean b a graphic novel in storyboards？？？？？ YES PLS JUST WHAT I NEED！！！！！！！ honestly this is my first time coming across a very detailed movie storyboarding in a book。i learnt the importance of storyboarding in animation years ago so this was definitely something familiar for me to come across and so glad to know that legendary parasite's director， bong joon ho， uses so as part of his directing process; storyboarding every shot of the scenes before he starts filming it。 parasite is a 2019 south korean black comedy thriller movie directed by him and not every director is so extensive with storyboarding so this book is honestly such a gem and obviously you can see how dedicated/passionate he is in what he does。 :'）i watched the movie 2 years ago so honestly couldnt remember certain points/spot any difference as i was reading so i decided to spend some time rewatching the movie。 so glad that i did bc found myself enjoying + appreciate this book more！！！its really interesting to read how everything came about - i didnt know one of the main character's name - jessica - was actually inspired by jessica from SNSD girls generation omgggg。 and there was also an extended version of jessica jingle！！ certain scenes like shoplifting a neighbourhood store was also shown in the storyboards as well， which was not shown in the movie。 i really love both the movie & its graphic novel; if i were to choose one， i wouldnt be able to as both are equally good in their own ways。 bong joon ho is truly such an inspiration and i really really admire his works。 not too long ago， i also picked up "okja: the art and making of film" - another movie directed by him， which i truly enjoy too。 highly recommend everything that was mentioned， anytime when youre ready to dive into a masterpiece。 。。。more

Really fun to read this side-by-side with the 5-out-5 perfect movie， to compare how close the final product was to Bong Joon Ho’s early storyboards。 Also includes scenes that were cut from the movie as a bonus。

As far as film books go， personally I would’ve liked the dimensions of the book to be bigger so that we could appreciate the storyboards more。 This is a very useful text if you’re interested in seeing how a movie is storyboarded and planned

As a firm believer in thumbnail sketching and storyboarding for graphic design projects that I work on， it was especially interesting to see Bong Joon Ho do the same thing but for the movie screen。 The way he sketches and draws the characters emotions builds tension so expertly and is like nothing I’ve ever seen before。 This book is a gift to all visual thinkers， artists， and Parasite film fans alike。 It is astounding how close the final masterpiece is to the initial， but genius， sketches。

Script book accompanied with the entire storyboard sketches from Bong Joon Ho himself。 A bit clustered and messy with the scene to scene movement， but not everything has to be clean and concise when you（the creator） understands what you want done with the scene。 Towards the end there’s more sketches and a good bit of photos from the film。 Definitely enjoyed seeing the ideas behind the films creation。

bruh his vision。 his MIND！！ this is so fucking cool。 i loved seeing the storyboards for the scenes that were cut and like the little bits of dialogue that didn’t make it to the final movie。 i kinda wanna reread while rewatching it？ also i kinda wish there was more behind the scenes stuff （like “we cut this scene bc。。。”） but idk how interesting or relevant that would be？ Anyway mwah this slaps

read my review of the film parasite here on my blog， Sophie and Their Stories！！I love this movie a thousand times more！！ and it was so cool to see the deleted scenes and little changes that were translated beautifully from page to screen。 reading this graphic novel got me just as excited and shocked as I was watching the film。 read my review of the film parasite here on my blog， Sophie and Their Stories！！I love this movie a thousand times more！！ and it was so cool to see the deleted scenes and little changes that were translated beautifully from page to screen。 reading this graphic novel got me just as excited and shocked as I was watching the film。 。。。more

the fact that bong joon ho could make my heartbeat race from storyboards？ his POWER。 but all jokes aside， since I saw this movie around this time last year， I had been talking it up so much I thought maybe I was hyping it up in my head？ but reading this just showed me how much I loved it and how I need to rewatch it。 near the end I was tearing up and emotional。 a great book and I think when I have money to spare （lmao） I will be purchasing my own copy。

How to amplify Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite experience？ Read the storyboard in chunks and watch that film chunk immediately afterwards， pause the film， read another chunk， repeat。 Getting into Bong Joon-ho’s mind via his drawn storyboard is to understand the mechanism of how Parasite came to be， shot by shot， the panning， angles， dialogues， details， etc。 It’s so rare that storyboards to a masterful film like this is accessible in this format。
