So in my experience that makes both seasons of squid games, parasite and the horror movie ‘the host’ (also another Korean movie but I can’t recall the name of it)

    The stuff I had in mind isn’t even necessarily plot points (like it was in squid games with two characters being from the DPRK), but sometimes just a negative mention of them.

      A Taxi Driver is focused on criticising the authoritarian government of the South in the 1980s. It has the media blaming the uprising on the North, though the film has already shown that to be untrue.

      Certainly there’s going to be antipathy in some things. The Spy Gone North deals with that head on. But there are plenty of examples where it just doesn’t come up at all. It’s not like the prerequisite nudity in every single French film.
