One of the first things an experienced viewer of North Korean cinema notices when watching a Pak Chong Song film is the technical skill of the director. North Korean cinema was shaped by the Soviet social realist cinema. This was due to the Soviet film advisers and a practice of sending film makers to the USSR to learn about film production. This created a straightforward style with a minimalist approach to cinematography.
Centre Forward is a sports film less about the competition of sport, and more the battle with oneself in a struggle against their own endurance in a story that transcends nationality.
