Lanzmann's account of a love affair with a North Korean nurse during a 1958 visit to North Korea.
Sinekatalog’s take
Claude Lanzmann's short documentary recounts a love affair with a North Korean nurse during a 1958 visit to North Korea. Oblique and personal, with striking landscapes, it is an odd, intimate late work that sits uneasily beside his great Holocaust films.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
