The Lovers and the Despot (2016)
North Korea ruler Kim Jong-il kidnaps South Korean actress Choi Eun-hee while she is in Hong Kong. Drugs her and has her brought to North Korea. Her x-husband, the famous film director, Shin Sang-ok goes to Hong Kong to find out what happened to her. He disappaers, also kidnapped to North Korea.
Kim Jong-il, a major film fan wanted to improve the quality of North Korean films and seemed to feel that North Korean film makers were such simpletons that they could not do it. What do you do if you are a crazed leader? It would appear that you start kidnapping film makers to bring into your country to make films for you.
