my favorite movie of 2009:
[Korean: Madeo] 마더
(Kim Hye-ja, Won Bin, Jin Goo, Moon Hee-ra, Yoon Je-moon. Directed by Bong Joon-ho.)
This is a murder mystery, but it’s also more than that. The video below analyzes how Mother led to director Bong’s Parasite (2019), with spoilers for both movies. The video says:
Mother, in its briefest form, is about a woman who tries to save her only son, with intellectual disability, from being imprisoned. … From what feels like a very typical genre film premise, Bong Joon-ho creates something extraordinary, a film that … leaves [viewers] in shock and awe.
Stream Mother on the Roku Channel (free with ads) or one of these sites.
