SEOUL - A YOUNG man climbs a dusty, narrow staircase toward a job interview. A kindly police officer walking ahead of him looks back and says, 'Don't tell him you're from North Korea, OK?'

The telling scene comes early in The Journals of Musan, a dark and brooding South Korean movie that has won international acclaim for its portrayal of the struggles faced by refugees from communist North Korea in the capitalist - and, as depicted in the film, often heartless - South. The movie opened in Seoul last week.
