Defilada

May 01, 1989
Defilada was made on the occasion of the 40th anniversary celebrations of state's founding in North Korea, which the regime intended to use to eclipse the 1988 Summer Olympics taking place that year in Seoul, South Korea. The North Korean regime invited filmmakers from countries then considered friendly (read: Communist), including People's Republic of Poland, which sent a team under Andrzej Fidyk. The documentary is primarily composed of declarative statements, as well as texts of North Korean newspapers and books. There was no author's commentary. Fidyk commented that he and his team were likely “the most disciplined” foreign team of filmmakers in North Korea, as they did not trouble the regime by looking under the surface - they were content with what they were given and asked to do.

The Propaganda Game

Oct 03, 2015
North Korea. The last communist country in the world. Unknown, hermetic and fascinating. Formerly known as “The Hermit Kingdom” for its attempts to remain isolated, North Korea is one of the largest sources of instability as regards world peace. It also has the most militarized border in the world, and the flow of impartial information, both going in and out, is practically non-existent. As the recent Sony-leaks has shown, it is the perfect setting for a propaganda war.

Dictateur, un boulot de dingue
6.5
« Dictateur : personne qui, à la tête d'un État, détient tous les pouvoirs, les exerçant sans contrôle et de façon autoritaire ». Une définition à laquelle répondent Adolf Hitler, Joseph Staline, Kim Jong Il, Saddam Hussein, Nicolae Ceausescu, Jean-Bedel Bokassa ou Mouammar Kadhafi. Cruel, paranoïaque, coupé du réel, le dictateur souffre d'une pathologie propre au pouvoir : l'abus de pouvoir, symbolisé par les génocides, les crimes, la suppression de la liberté d'expression... L'ancien cuisinier de Kim Jong Il (Kenji Fujimoto), le tailleur de Saddam Hussein (Recep Cesur) ou le compagnon de chasse à l'ours de Nicolae Ceausescu (Vasile Crisan) témoignent des étonnantes manies et caprices des principaux tyrans.
