Mother

Another brilliant example of Bong Joon Ho's fascinatingly unclassified cinema, which masterly combines the genres of crime thriller, film noir, family drama and social satire to compose one of the most unconventional stories of maternal love ever screened.

Synopsis

One day a young girl is found dead in an abandoned building and a 27-year-old man is accused of her murder. An inefficient lawyer and an apathetic police force that closes his case too quickly inspire his mother to act on her own—to act as Mother in its purest form. Summoning all her maternal instincts and trusting no one, she sets out to find a killer and prove her son’s innocence.
