Art Service have announced the Korean DVD release of 'The Journals Of Musan' for the 29th February, 2012. Directed by and starring Park Jung Bum, who was assistant director on Lee Chang Dong's 'Poetry', the film revolves around a North Korean defector struggling to get by in Seoul.
Synopsis
Seung Chul (Park Jung Bum) is a North Korean defector struggling to get by in Seoul. He makes a living by putting up posters for sex shops, and is constantly bullied by his seedy boss and rival poster pasters. Seung Chul holds a torch for Young Sook (Kang Eun Jin), a woman at his church, and takes a low-paying, part-time job at the karaoke bar she manages in order to get closer to her. Observing Young Sook and caring for an adopted puppy are Seung Chul's only respites from a harsh life rife with daily abuse and indignities.
