Reviews

At last there is a book that reads North Korean cinema beyond the usual focus on political events, personality cult, and propaganda function. Focusing on seldom-studied comedy films from North Korea, Laughing North Koreans: The Culture of Comedy Films opens up the field by situating North Korean cinema at the confluence of national cinema, film genre, cultural studies, and identity politics. Immanuel Kim's exciting, finely-researched book is a must-read for anyone interested in socialist cinema, Korean film history, and North Korean history, film, and culture.--Dong Hoon Kim, University of Oregon
