The Red Chapel

Directed by Mads Brügger
A Lorber Films Release

Synopsis

Winner of the World Cinema Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, Mads Brügger’s documentary follows a trio of Danish comedians as they pretend to be regime sympathizers and mount an absurd variety show in North Korea. Combining the muckracking spirit of Michael Moore with the confrontational comedy of Borat, The Red Chapel is an unconventional, hilarious and damning peek into a totalitarian regime.

Critical Acclaim

“Shocking, funny and wildly outrageous! The film plays as part performance stunt, part investigative piece and…becomes a moving look at the difficulties of living with disabilities.” – Mark Olsen, The Los Angeles Times
