A TRAFFIC CONTROLLER ON CROSSROADS is a largely dull and uninteresting North Korean drama. Despite the presence of a few comedic scenes here and there, this is a heavy-handed and lifeless effort that's easily surpassed by many of the other North Korean movies I've watched beforehand (like the same decade's A BROAD BELLFLOWER).
The general storyline involves the whims and life of a young and attractive female traffic controller who becomes involved with a guy who speeds around in his van. He's brought to the office for ticketing, but it soon transpires that his situation is more complex than originally thought, leading to something of a moral dilemma for our heroine.
The production values and performances aren't too shabby here, it's the script which is devoid of incident and intrigue. You just don't get a chance to empathise with any of the characters. On the plus side, it's only on for an hour.
