Welcome to North Korea!

About This Movie

So, 'Welcome to North Korea!' is an intriguing peek into a land that's often shrouded in mystery. The film tracks this group of Czech tourists who fork over a hefty sum to experience the DPRK. The atmosphere is surreal, almost disorienting at times, as it juxtaposes the tourists' excitement with the stark realities of the regime. It captures their naïveté and the peculiarities of guided tours in such an isolated country. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of reflection amidst the absurdity. What stands out is the raw, almost voyeuristic look at interactions that feel staged and authentic all at once. It raises questions about the ethics of tourism in such a politically charged environment.
