The Fantastic

La réalisatrice interviewe des Nord-Coréens sur leur perception du monde occidental à travers des films étrangers. Ces récits et les séquences documentaires de la Corée du Nord et de sa frontière avec la Chine, questionnent notre propre rapport à la réalité.

“The Fantastic isn’t a film about North Korea. The film reverses the set-up where westerners are peeping in on the everyday life of the closed-off state. In this film, it is the North Koreans who direct their curiosity at the outside world. As the film tells as much as imagination as the reality, the visual effects are used in addition to the documentary footage.” Maija Blåfield
