Mother (2009): A mother desperately searches for the killer that framed her son for a horrific murder. (8.0)
Director: Joon-ho Bong
Stars: Hye-ja Kim, Bin Won and Ku Jin
Language: Korean (w/ English subtitles)
Under the surface of the storyline, this movie has a lot of things going on. A mother, a mentally handicapped son, their past, their memories, and also the on-going suspicion about who committed the crime. A movie that makes you think ... think about who's right, what's right and what's justice. It seems to have been filmed in a picturesque place, but the cinematographer didn't use a lot of it. Character development in the movie (ie: the interactions of everyone in a small town) was done nicely. My Rating: 7.5
