08/01/2017 A hodgepodge of North Korean TV and movie footage and footage this South Korean filmmaker shot while visiting. Messy and boring. I would have much preferred a history lesson in how Japan and the US did Korea wrong, since she is clearly going for a sympathetic approach. See more 05/19/2016 Interesting shots from this secluded country...comprise only about 15 minutes of this film the rest of which is haphazardly assembled interviews and dated propaganda films (which Kim himself loathed!). Only interesting to folks enamored by the topic. See more 05/07/2016 Unique and intriguing images from this self-isolated country...comprise fifteen or so minutes of the film. The rest consists of awkwardly interspersed segments of the filmmaker's South Korean father and scenes from North Korean feature films - which Kim Jung Il himself described as "awful". The director's attempt at a Pyongyang inspired Koyaanisqatsi falls quite flat. Other documentaries, like those from the BBC, and RT are a better exploration of the subject. See more Read all reviews
