In the film world, Parasite has to be one of the most genre-blending (or is it bending?) examples out there - comedy/horror/disaster/coming-of-age/familial.....all depending on where one draws each genre boundary. Based on the varying responses from friends it seems to have had a Marmite effect.

Parasite, Marmite. As Harry Hill says, ‘You’ve got to have a system’! (Okay, he was talking about stalactites and stalagmites.)

You’ve woken me to those various genres in that movie (like a sagacious actor). My enduring memory of it was it was a cold work - not very compassionate. But of course it was huge, so what do I know?!

Plus, I don’t much like Marmite…
