The international sleeper hit follows an impoverished Korean family who manage to scam their way into plum jobs working for a much more wealthy family. Forced to keep the fact that they’re related a secret from the oblivious Park family, the Kims fall headfirst into a web of deception and bizarre servitude, all leading to a conclusion which is at once hilarious and bleak.

Stan‘s chief content officer Nick Forward confirmed that the film’s streaming release on Easter Sunday was a bit of an early gift, saying: “Just two months after its historic Best Picture Oscar win, Stan is pleased to be making this acclaimed masterpiece from South Korean director Bong Joon-ho available early to all Stan subscribers this Easter.”

It’s on 4k. It won four Oscars, including Best Director, Best International Feature, Best Original Screenplay, and—duh—Best Picture. And what better time to seethe at the divide between the Haves and the Have-nots, when every few minutes a celebrity posts some Instagram video of themselves mourning their self-isolation from their third holiday home in the Maldives?
