Despite the
incredible fortitude of this North Korean woman who the smuggles people out of
North Korea, and ends up with two husbands – one in China to whom she is sold
when she first left North Korea in furtive circumstances; the other her first
husband with whom she has two sons, and for whom she gives up her Chinese
husband to live with her now being estranged husband in South Korea, this messy
documentary is so badly edited and utterly confusing in following her movements
from Korea and China.
The viewer is left in longing to figure out the labyrinth in
which Madame B lived as she juggled so many twists in her peripatetic life.
What an amazing experience in one life plagued with an obsession to be with her
sons and reunite with her Chinese husband. This unique film was screened at
RIDM.
