Mads Brügger: "Red Chapel" (2009)--ND/NF

Said to be a cross of Borat and Michael Moore, but this documentary of a visit to North Korea by a young two-man DAnish comedy team (both born in Korean) is bankrolled by Lars von Trier's Zentropa company, and it recalls Jorgen Leth's Five Obstructions: it's a challenge to make a filmed exposé of a dictatorship in the capital of that dictatorship, shooting footage that is wholly vetted by authorities. The linchpin is Jacob, whose cerebral palsy makes his subversive remarks in Danish incomprehensible to the North Koreans, and whose complex reactions also make him the conscience of the film. The film becomes as much about him as about the nasty toy kingdom of North Korea. This film won the World Cinema Grand Prize at Sundance.
