Beskrivning
This study analyzes North Korean comedy films from the late 1960s to present day. It examines the most iconic comedy films and comedians to show how North Koreans have enjoyed themselves and have established a culture of humor that challenges, subverts, and, at times, reinforces the dominant political ideology. The author argues that comedy films, popular comedians, and the viewers have an intricate interdependent relationship that shaped the film culture—the pre/post production of filmmaking, film-watching experience, and the legacies of actors—in North Korea.

Recensioner i media

Laughing North Koreans: The Culture of Comedy Films is ultimately a fascinating and extensive study of a subject seldom covered in this way. Immanuel Kim draws the reader into a cultural space where unexpectedly there are starts like Kim Se-yong and franchises such as the My Family's Problem series, which North Korean audiences really could have engaged with and followed through the years. Readers will be more than satisfied with Kim's careful analysis of these films and the legacies and histories they leave.
