Review of Songs From the North (2015) by Jonathan Tomatoeman W — 07 May 2016
Unique and intriguing images from this self-isolated country...comprise fifteen or so minutes of the film. The rest consists of awkwardly interspersed segments of the filmmaker's South Korean father and scenes from North Korean feature films - which Kim Jung Il himself described as "awful".
The director's attempt at a Pyongyang inspired Koyaanisqatsi falls quite flat. Other documentaries, like those from the BBC, and RT are a better exploration of the subject.
