New North Korean film with British and Belgian film-makers

A new North Korean movie is currently on screens in various parts of the world. This new film was created with North Koreans, British, and Belgian film-makers. The first impression of watching the trailer is that the film quality has significantly increased. However, the setting and dubbed voice overs still remain very North Korean. It almost feels as if you are watching a movie that was released in the 1970s but now colorized and in HD.

The film-makers have also strongly denied any suggestion that this is a North Korean propaganda film. The film took six-years to make due to struggles with the North Korean side, which doesn’t come as a surprise. Nonetheless, this movie is sweeping many film festivals and Han Jong-Sim, the leading actress, has some new fame to deal with in North Korea. It’ll be interesting to see how Kim Jong-Il’s passion for film-making will translate into the Kim Jong-Un’s regime.
