The Juche Idea (2008)

Jim Finn, follows a South Korean video artist in North Korea who hopes to revitalize Juche cinema, somewhat inspired by a true story of a South Korean filmmaker kidnapped in the 70s to make the North Korean film industry better. This experimental satire that examines what happens when a South Korean filmmaker sojourns into communist North Korea to breathe new life into that country's flagging, propaganda-driven movie industry. Believing that cinema can prop up North Korea's Juche Idea of self-reliance, mad dictator Kim Jong-Il pulls out all the stops to help the young émigré produce appropriate films.

In his densely constructed and pretty damn brilliant film The Juche Idea, Finn takes aim at North Korean president Kim Jong-il's theories on cinema and how its ultimate purpose is to advance political ideology and party loyalty.

S. James Snyder 25 May 2010

In the director’s hands, these societal passion plays and “documentaries” offer a terrifying, top-down perversion of art itself--another insidious extension of politics by other means.

This film will make you feel baffled and manipulated, just as the director intended, as it assaults you with a barrage of propaganda made both by the Kim Jong Il regime in North Korea and by Jim Finn in Upstate New York. And you will laugh.

Avi Offer 25 May 2010

An unconventional and wildly imaginative combination of humor, satire and faux documentary as a delightful and refreshing medium to enlighten the audience about Juche.

This is a remarkable film: a sort of free form essay on cinema, North Korean philosophy, and awesomely corny jokes on socialism and socialist art. This is probably more formally ambitious than Finn's prior work, the amazing Interkosmos, and in spirit reminds me a lot of Dusan Makavejev. I can't really think of anyone else who exhibits this much intellectual ambition to understand the differences between socialism and capitalism and who has such a great since of humor about it.
