Mother
Bong Joon-ho / KR, 2009 / 128 min.
Bong Joon-ho, whose latest film Mickey 17 is having its première, illuminates a suffocating mother-son relationship within a suspense format reminiscent of Hitchcock. With a terrific role for Kim Hye-ja as the Mother, in a screenplay that gives a refreshing South Korean twist to Hollywood dramaturgy.
How far will a mother go to protect her child? What if the child is suspected of murder? These are just a couple of the topics Bong Joon-ho touches on in Mother, his fifth feature-length fiction film.
Screening on 35mm from the Eye Collection.
