Korea (circa.) offers this haunting look into everyday life in Pyongyang that feels brooding and strangely contemplative. The visuals—those endless, somber boulevards—create a kind of oppressive atmosphere, almost like the city itself is a character. The rhythmic routines of school children and adults dressed uniformly, all saluting Kim Jong-un, feels unsettling yet oddly poetic. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the tension of the mundane against a backdrop of strict ideology. What stands out is how it captures the stark contrasts of life in North Korea, the calmness of the surface hiding deeper currents of control and conformity. It’s a film that lingers in your mind, as the everyday becomes something profoundly unsettling.
