Mother
Original with subtitles (OmU)
South Korean crime grotesque in which "The Host" director Bong Joon-Ho stylishly and absurdly ponders the tragic consequences of motherly love.
When a schoolgirl is found murdered, the authorities in the provincial town suspect Do-jun, a mentally disturbed man who lives with his mother. They get Do-jun to sign a confession. This allows the negligent investigating officers to conveniently put the case to bed. But they have not reckoned with the tenacity of Do-jun's mother. After the arrogant lawyer also lets her down, she begins to investigate on her own.
