Mother

Bong Joon Ho20092h 9mCrime, Drama, Thriller

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. — 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. — Official Selection - Un Certain Regard | Cannes Film Festival | 2009

And while her boyfriend wants to start a family, she suddenly falls in love with someone else. A chronicle of four years in the life of a young woman who is asked to explore the complicated paths of life and love while struggling for her career.
