    Great Song

    Great Man and Cinema (2009)

    *** (out of 4)

    This documentary short from Jim Finn takes a look at Kim Jong and his contributions to cinema. At just 3 minutes there's really nothing to learn here and the only way to take this short is to see it as a spoof. Obviously Jong isn't a filmmaker or anything great so the whole point of this short was to pretty much spoof the man and whatever impact he thinks he has had to entertainment. The short contains clips from several North Korean movies but the highlight of the film is the song F*cking USA by Neung Phak, which getting to hear is the main reason to check this short out.
