In this rare look inside North Korea, director Pieter Fleury gained unprecedented access to a country generally cloaked in secrecy. Using "a day in the life" format, Fleury follows the daily routines of a typical North Korean family as they go to work, attend school, and participate in English classes. Though the country's inhabitants sincerely put their best face forward, the relentless images and ritualized practices of government propaganda offer a telling portrait of this controversial country.

A standard documentary shot with a digital camera. Though the constant anti-American allusions on the one hand and voluntary Americanisation on the other (English at school, discovering the internet) form some sort of outline, many of the scenes – especially those in the factory – are dreadfully boring, even given the film’s moderate runtime. But maybe that’s also because of my personal perspective, as the word “communism” elicits in me the same sympathies as the word “cancer”.
