Description

A woman devoted to her son struggles to keep him from spending his life in prison in this drama from director Bong Joon-ho. Do-jun (Weon Bin) is a man in his mid-twenties who isn`t especially bright and is easily led. Do-jun lives with his elderly mother (Kim Hye-ja), who loves him fiercely even though she has no illusions about his abilities or his bad habits. Do-jun spends much of his spare time with Jin-tae (Jin Gu), a borderline criminal who takes advantage of Do-jun`s credulous nature, much to his mother`s annoyance. When Do-jun is arrested by police and accused of the murder of a young woman, his mother is certain he couldn`t have done it and sets out to prove her son`s innocence to police detectives, who seem more interested in closing the case than researching other possible leads. At first, mother feels certain that Jin-tae has framed her son to avoid being punished himself, but as she digs deeper she suspects the truth is more complicated.

"Mother" erzählt eine Geschichte von einem 27-jährigen bei seiner Mutter lebenden Sohn, der nicht viel mit anderen Menschen ausser seiner Mutter anfangen kann, und eines Tages Hauptverdächtiger in einem Mordfall wird. Er ist unschuldig, kann dies aber nicht beweisen. Die Polizei schiesst sich immer mehr auf ihn als Täter ein. Seine Mutter sieht ihre einzige Möglichkeit darin, die Unschuld ihres Sohnes zu beweisen, indem sie sich selbst auf die Suche nach dem wahren Mörder macht...

... kommt der Streifen endlich zu uns?!? Schlafen die hiesigen Filmverleiher alle? Der Regisseur dreht Meisterwerk nach Meisterwerk und niemand scheints zu merken! Alle seine Filme bisher waren:

Für meinen Geschmack etwas zu überzeichnet und sperrig, aber vielleicht hab ich ihn auch mit den falschen Erwartungen gesehen.
