Under the Sun

Not Rated
Movie
2015
1h 46m
German
Documentary
Over the course of one year, this film follows the life of an ordinary Pyongyang family whose daughter was chosen to take part in Day of the Shining Star (Kim Jong-il's birthday) celebration. While North Korean government wanted a propaganda film, the director kept on filming between the scripted scenes. The ritualized explosions of color and joy contrast sharply with pale everyday reality, which is not particularly terrible, but rather quite surreal.

It's actually fascinating how brainwashed these people are and almost all of them have no idea.

When you get to the end of the movie, you could understand the motives of the crew. It is hard to live your life the way it was after you saw how things really are
