Madeo ("Mother") - (Korea)


Just saw "Mother," the new film from the great Korean director Joon-ho Bong ("The Host"). Best film i've seen in a long long time. Subtle and powerful blend of mystery, tragedy, black comedy, with echoes of Almodovar, van Trier's Dancer in the Dark, Morrison's Beloved, themes of mental illness and the boundlessness of maternal love. Acting performances by Won Bin and esp Kim Hye-Ja are mesmerizing. A cinematic experience! Chapeau!
