Bong Joon-Ho

"AN ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL FILM. Some of the best movie surprises I've seen in years. THIS IS FILMMAKING OF A HIGH ORDER." "THRILLING. BREATHTAKING. A MUST-SEE MARVEL. Bong Joon-Ho is one of the coolest international cinema artists working today and his ability to play one tone against another is like the talent of a great jazz master. GRADE A." "BY... MILES THE BEST THRILLER I'VE SEEN THIS YEAR. Riveting and darkly funny. Bong Joon-Ho is a brilliant filmmaker and dazzling crowd pleaser. HE'S THE BEST FILMMAKER TO HAVE EMERGED IN THE NEW MILLENIUM." "A GREAT FILM. A remarkable, full-blooded, constantly inventive movie that enthralls, entertains, horrifies and NEVER LETS GO ITS GRIP." "The hard-pounding heart of 'Mother', Ms. Kim is a wonderment." Hye-ja is a single mom to 27-year-old Do-joon. Her son is her raison dtre. Though an adult in years, Do-joon is nave and dependent on his mother, and a constant source of anxiety, often behaving in ways that are foolish or simply dangerous. Walking home alone one night down a nearly empty city street, he encounters a young girl who he follows for a while before she disappears into a dark alley. The next morning, she is found dead in an abandoned building and Do-joon is accused of her murder. Thanks to an inefficient lawyer and an apathetic police force, Do-joons case is quickly closed, but his mother refuses to let this be the end of the story. Trusting no one, Hye-jas maternal instincts kick into overdrive, and she sets out to find the girls killer and prove her sons innocence.Read More
