Audience Member This film will make you feel baffled and manipulated, just as the director intended, as it assaults you with a barrage of propaganda made both by the Kim Jong Il regime in North Korea and by Jim Finn in Upstate New York. And you will laugh. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member interesting ... maybe too arthouse for me Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A bizarre, funny, and a bit obtuse documentary/mockumentary about the philosophies of Juche cinema Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Will the words "Fuck", "Cunt", "Shit", "Cum" and "Goddamn" be censored? I hope to Christ not. They're good words. Oh, and this is a good film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member another play to all the people of the world bla bla bla Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a remarkable film: a sort of free form essay on cinema, North Korean philosophy, and awesomely corny jokes on socialism and socialist art. This is probably more formally ambitious than Finn's prior work, the amazing Interkosmos, and in spirit reminds me a lot of Dusan Makavejev. I can't really think of anyone else who exhibits this much intellectual ambition to understand the differences between socialism and capitalism and who has such a great since of humor about it.
