UNDER THE SUN

Watchable. Nothing revelatory in this documentary about North Korea. My movie companion was checking on me during the film but to his surprise I was wide awake all the time. I truly enjoyed it. The film's almost funny in the way it depicts how staged the whole documentary was. It's full of close-ups showing emotions (smugness or drowsiness or sadness) contrasting with the utterances scripted by the local authorities.
