'Welcome to North Korea': A Surreal, Sad Game of Charades
Topic: Society 1:42 pm EST, Mar 19, 2003

] Early in the documentary "Welcome to North Korea," which
] airs on Cinemax tonight at 7:30, Dutch journalist Peter
] Tetteroo aims his camera out the window of his hotel room
] in Pyongyang to film a policewoman directing traffic.
] She's in constant motion, gesturing to vehicles coming
] from one direction, then pivoting crisply and signaling
] to vehicles coming from another direction.
]
] It all looks perfectly normal, except for one thing:
] There's no traffic. North Korea doesn't have very many
] cars, and none of them happens to be driving by. The
] policewoman's choreography is all a surreal charade.
