The Ann Arbor film festival just announced they they are lucky enough to be hosting the world premiere of Jim Finn's new film THE JUCHE IDEA.
I've only ever seen one other film by Finn, the very funny INTERKOSMOS. That is a homegrown communist propaganda piece in worship of the glorious East German space program. It's hard to describe how this is made comical but its not in the way you'd think. (Read Jon Korn's description on the last link.)
The new film is about a South Korean filmmaker who attends an arts retreat in North Korea, loosely based on an actual kidnapping. If you are looking for a film that will wrestle your brain to the ground and then give it playful slaps, look to Jim Finn.
