The Red Chapel was *fantastic* and my pick of the day. it starts as a seemingly straightforward, completely irreverent romp, billed as "Denmark punks North Korea." but the path of evil becomes increasingly difficult to trace, with the Danish director seeming to employ purportedly North Korean-esque tactics of deceit and manipulation in order to unmask their deceit and manipulation. all in all, it was a serious examination of a challenging topic, punctuated by moments of brilliant (truly, brilliant) hilarity. i very much recommend this film.
oopsies! i just realized the last screening for this has already passed, including the additional screening that was already added. sorry. well, keep your ears to the ground, in case it hits the commercial circuit. hopefully Fifth Ave will pick it up..
