A very interesting article. Unfortunately, Requiem killed me inside with both the plotline and Royale.

Thanks! Me and Seonsaeng are happy that, at least a little, we managed to "take a look" behind the NK cinema :)

Thank you for the insightful comment about the film. I also had similar feelings about it. The FL is one of the best pictures (out of many NK's weak ones) about the subject of Japanese oppression. From South Korea, the only movies that really caught my attention about this topic were The Battleship Island and Admiral: The Roaring Currents, but these are modern productions filled with special effects.

Not one person but two! Thanks for the comment.

Great! If I'll find Love, Love, My Love somehwere in good version, then I'll let you know .

Thank you for the comment! It's great that you enjoyed it. Yes, mainstream media tend to stick to political narratives. That is not to say, however, that NK is entirely positive/negative country. I'd personally recommend The Flower Girl for starters. Unfortunately, the majority of Shin's movies are not available on Youtube.

Thank you for a kind comment! I personally recommend "The Schoolgirl's Diary," it's my fave NK movie. Yes, unfortunately, some of the films are blocked, but most of them should be available.

Obrigado.

I don't know if this is the case with modern productions, but 70s/80s stuff from NK was heavily inspired by Russia.

Thanks for the comment. You're welcome! There are many dramas and movies with eng subs on Youtube. Yes, the book could serve as the basis for a movie.

Thanks! Well, at least you got to know some info about them ;)

That's exactly what I thought as well! If you do pick NK cinema, then hit our sources for more info, especially Tatiana Gabroussenko's articles (she's the only uni lecturer who treats this subject professionally).

Thanks! Don't disregard the movies, There is some good stuff in them as well :)

Thank you for reading the article ;)

Yes, indeed. The film was popular in a "weird" way. You're welcome!

PS We definitely need an article feature which you mentioned!

Thank you for a wonderful reply! You can also search for the films on Youtube manually and see if these are unlocked in your region. Footprints of Military Service are available on Youtube, but without English subtitles. You can find Pulgasari here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCKSR0JArUQ
When it comes to Nameless Heroes and The Nation and Destiny, these were treated more like "movies" by the authorities and had the length between 60-90 min (plus limited production resources), that's why there were so many years in the making.

You're welcome! Thank you so much for the comment!

Awesome!

Thank you for having faith in us!
