Featured review

8/10

Along with impressively slick cinematography via Choi Chan-min and some outstanding production design (Taipei stands in for Beijing and North Korea), the film provides some fascinating insights into Korean history following the Cold War and the transition from a tightly-controlled to a more democratic South Korea. You don’t need to know much about Korean politics to enjoy ‘The Spy Gone North’; you only need an appreciation for political intrigue and tension-inducing filmmaking in general. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-the-spy-gone-north-engrossing-espionage-escapades
