Madame Choi and the Monsters: A True Story

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Patrick Spät

Illustrated by: Sheree Domingo

The incredible-yet-true story of celebrated South Korean actress Choi Eun-hee, abducted in 1978 by North Korean secret agents on the orders of their film-crazed future leader Kim Jong-il.

Six months later, filmmaker Shin Sang-ok, Choi Eun-hees ex-husband, is abducted in turn. Choi and Shin remain unaware of each others fates until they meet again at a dinner hosted by Kim Jong-il in 1983.

Kim forces Choi and Shin to make films, including the infamous kaiju cult classic Pulgasari (1985), all while convincing the world that they serve North Korea willingly. Choi and Shins love rekindles slowly in this reunited captivity. Only at the 1986 Vienna Film Festival do they escape, fleeing in a daring car chase to the American embassy.  See more
