The Movies of Kim Jong-Il

The logical end to unbridled power invested unquestioningly in a single individual. The Ershad of the North one might call him.

So the obvious question to ask is this: are movie-critics in North Korea charged with “ruining the image of the Glorious country” by the nomenklatura or with “being counter-revolutionary” by Communist party apparatchiki, or with “disrespecting our Dear Leader who knows better” by the pathological bootlickers?
