The South Korean film 'Parasite', showing across Irish cinemas at present, is well worth a watch.
The award winning film, directed by Bong Joon-Ho, is attracting large numbers in Dublin cinemas.
The film is what it says on the tin. It is about a poor family who manage to worm their way into a wealthy family. They all get jobs at the home.
They pose as competent people who are not related to one another. And they use nasty methods to get rid of the genuine people who work at the home.
It's black humour. It's poor people acting as parasites and harming a wealthy family and destroying the lives of their employees. They have no scruples whatsoever and the father is the clever or maybe not-so-clever ringleader.
We learn little about the wealthy family. Are they too parasites? There are hints they are but they practise it in a much more sophisticated way.
Then there is a sub-plot, which adds to the fun and mystery of the film. The violence later in the film is lurking from much earlier on.
Maybe it could all be told in under the 132 minutes running-time.
At least two South Korean airlines are refusing to show the film on their services.
The film is sub-titled.
