Hello budding North Korean movie detectives…
I have managed to get hold of four North Korean movie posters – and even have the names of the movies in English – but I am unable to find out any details of these movies.
Given the wide-range of DPRK/Korea-speaking/film legends I have occasionally commenting on this humble blog, would anyone be able to point to any resources about when these movies are about?
It may well be that these movies have been given different English titles, or that details on them can be found by searching their Korean names? Any details would be greatly appreciated in this case. Just leave a comment or email dprkfilms@gmail.com if you can help with the hunt!

May I ask how you managed to get a hold of these? A few of them are spectacular.
There are a few places online that sell hand-painted reproductions. Also tour groups to Pyongyang get the chance to pick them up. They are great!
You can get basic info on the last movie at this adress

You can also find the other movies on the website (provided you can find a way to type in korean 🙂 )
