Editor's Note:
„Coreea de Nord a devenit scena de desfășurare a unui film de coșmar, un thriller din care nu există ieșire și în care este în joc viața reală... Narațiunea lui Fischer conturează portretul unor victime obligate să adopte scenariul dement al unui tiran sociopat.” PUBLISHERS WEEKLY„Cartea lui Paul Fischer proiectează o lumină puternică asupra obsesiilor cinematografice care-l stăpânesc pe Kim și asupra rivalității dintre cele două Corei în arta filmului.” THE WASHINGTON POST„Investigare sistematică, exhaustivă, o cronică a scandaloasei răpiri a celebrului cuplu al cinematografiei sud-coreene de către dictatorul Coreei de Nord, Kim Jong-il. Cineastul Fischer prezintă atent și bine documentat evenimentele…O dezvăluire detaliată a acțiunilor desfășurate de aparatul de propagandă al republicii coreene”. KIRKUS REVIEWRăpirea cineastului Shing Sang-ok și a actriței Choi Eun-hee de către Kim Jong-il, dictatorul Coreei de Nord, mare cinefil, în anul 1978, a fost mediatizată la vremea respectivă în întreaga lume. Povestea dramatică se încheie după mulți ani de captivitate. Cei doi reușesc în cele din urmă să evadeze în timpul unei călătorii la Viena și să obțină azil politic din partea Statelor Unite ale Americii. Influența lor asupra cinematografiei nord-coreene a fost majoră, aducând o viziune nouă și tehnici de filmare originale, revoluționând acest domeniu. Anii petrecuți sub controlul „Iubitului Conducător” nord-coreean au lăsat însă o amprentă puternică în viața și profesia celor doi protagoniști.
