There are exceptions but generally Asian cinema found its stride the past decade. The start of the millennium, when 'Harmful Insect' was made, was only a seed.
The support cast for 'Harmful Insect' were weak but not important since dialogue was minimal and many scenes silent.
Although the bulk of time is spent on the female charcter skipping school to befriend vagrants, the undertone is that men are predators and life is terrible. It ends on that depressing note, with her accepting the darkness.
'Harmful Insect' is low key but worth watching. It serves as mood build-up to the excellent 'Han Gong Ju'.
