Intérieur Nord
An exploration of the hidden face of North Korea as seen through its cinema -a cinema never been shown abroad. By interviewing people in the street in Pyongyang, people who are also committed filmgoers, we discover that this essentially realistic cinema tells us much more that it wants to. In such films as We Live Here (1999), The Tree Grows on its Roots (1999) and The Secretary of the Daho Canton (2000), the emerging individualism, the privileges of the military, the delinquent youth sent to reeducation camps, even the famine, are openly depicted. In this documentary, images of daily life in the capital and the countryside, in factories and schools, and in border zones underline or deny what we are shown. This film is also an indirect portrait of the supreme leader, Kim Jung-Il. Screenwriter, director, technician and film theoretician, Kim Jung-Il, “the great genera", son of Kim-Il-Sung, “the respected leader", founder of the State, who died in 1994, is not your ordinary dictator. One might call him “the Absent One". The move from communism to something else has already begun in North Korea. This film analyzes the nature of the regime which naively strives—at the cost of superhuman resistance to outside pressures—to bring about the triumph of Koreanism.”
