The Spy Gone North is a South Korean political thriller co-written and directed by Yoon Jong-bin, (known for "Nameless Gangster" and "Kundo"). This is the true story of Park Chae-seo, a former South Korean agent who infiltrated North Korean nuclear facilities. In this effective thriller, we enter a magnificent interior with multiple meanders, this movie recalls a little (The Bridge of spies of S. Spielberg) here carried out effectively with a pointed and subtle scenario, makes us enter a freezing universe of high-risk espionage, between manipulations and betrayals, ambiguous relations with preconceived ideas, on the two Koreas which have always maintained, in secret, close ties, despite the propaganda of the two states in question. Also to see this great actor by talent: "Jung-Min Hwang" in the role of the spy: (Suk-young Park / Black Venus) in simply ordinary character and who will claim the place of the human in a system dehumanizing and authoritarian in an inflexible North Korea. A strong movie without ever falling into irrational exaggeration. A movie to discover for its strength.
