Director Park Chan-wook. Korean with English subtitles. 2h 19m.
Presaging the likely fate of middle managers and skilled industry workers writ large, director Park Chan-wook’s protagonist You Man-su suddenly finds himself out of work. The new bosses of the paper mill had ‘no other choice’ but to let him go, as the company reinvents itself for the digital age. How can Man-su find work and preserve his extremely shaky status as family breadwinner? Answer: nobble the competition for what few job vacancies come up. Mass murder ensues in Park’s award-winning surreal comedy. They say the best humour is underpinned by the most terrible truths.
