THE SQUARE is an animated film from Korea. Its set in North Korea and it follows a Swedish Diplomat who begins a clandestine romance/friendship with a woman who works as a late night traffic cop.
This is a small scale anime influenced romance of sorts. Because of the situation in the country there is a limit to how far the couple can take things. It is a kind of doomed romance that ends up taking on the mantle of a political thriller as the couple tries to remain out of harms way.
While this is good little film, it is rather slight. This is the cinematic equivalent to the Harlequin romances which entertain you for a couple hundred pages before being promptly forgotten when the film is done.
Worth a look if you’re curious but nothing you need rush out to.
