Mother
From the director of the Academy Award-winning, BEST PICTURE, PARASITE.
A disquieting mother-son story starring veteran actress Kim Hye-ja as a small-town apothecary, black-market acupuncturist and single mother to son, Do-joon. Though Do-joon seems too hapless to be dangerous, the local police pin a teenage schoolgirl’s murder on him. Against huge odds, his mother goes after the real killer.
Critic Reviews:

- " Another quality Bong hit. " – Jonathan Crocker
- " Bold, unpredictable and quietly devastating, Mother is Bong's first masterpiece. " – Tom Huddleston
