This documentary is absolutely mesmerizing thanks to its unprecedented access to North Korea. To gain permission to film in Pyongyang, director Vitaly Mansky worked closely with the government, whose idea to portray a typical family evolves into carefully orchestrated propaganda. Although government handlers wrote a script to present a utopian version of life inside North Korea, Mansky turns the tables on them, crafting a wry exposé of Kim Jong-un's regime. D: Vitaly Mansky, Russia/Germany, subtitled, 2016, 106m
