273. Mother (2009)

 

Country: S. Korea

Directed by Bong Joon-Ho


A captivating, intense, challenging movie that keeps us interested from the first to the last second, 'Mother' is far above of the typical predictable Western crime films with positive main characters vs villains, simplistic psychological backgrounds and plot twists that make you yawn. In this movie, and in the real life too, human minds and emotions are uncontrollable forces that can't fit in the boxes of stereotypical narrations neither can evolve in a way that always makes sense. Under the spell of the great Bong Joon-Ho's cinematography we end up watching the film mesmerized: it show us a strange but somehow very familiar world
