Comrade Kim Goes Flying (2012) is a North Korean romantic comedy, described as "a girl-power fairy tale about dreaming to fly," by one of its co-directors, Nicholas Bonner. The film follows Kim Yong Mi, a plucky coal miner from rural North Korea, who dreams of becoming a trapeze artist in Pyongyang.
The film is as odd, but not in the ways you would perhaps expect; a smoulderingly Oedipal relationship casts a shadow over the entire plot. Enjoy!
