stranger than fiction

"Crackbrained North Korean leader Kim Jong-il known for his insatiable love of films kidnapped the South Korean film director and his actress wife to "revive" the North Korean film industry."

it was on the news back in 2003. but i've never heard about it. until i came to Asia.


"I know I'm an object of criticism in the world but if I am being talked about, I must be doing the right things."
Kim Jong-il

one of the films produced by the kidnapped director was "Pulgasari"
a north Korean version of Godzilla and a propaganda film against capitalism.

fascinating!
kinda funny
and absolutely crazy
