Joint Security Area is a korean movie directed by Park Chan-wook.
Plot
The story begins a few days after two North Korean soldiers are killed in the Korean demilitarized zone.
Due to the fragile relationship between the two Koreas a special investigation is conducted by a neutral nation to ensure that this does not trigger a large conflict. During the investigation many revelations occur that show not everything is black and white.
The movie is noteworthy in that it not only succeeds as a mystery but so accuratley portrays the psychology and emotion behind the division between North and South Korea.
The movie was such a huge hit that it allowed Park Chan Wook to get the financial leeway to make his future movies.
