R16 Violence offensive language & sex scenes
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.
"In the hands of Bong Joon-ho (The Host, Memories of Murder), the story of a mother's campaign to clear her good-for-nothing son of a murder charge continually refuses to go where you think it should be going. As the mother stands up to attorney incompetence and an overeager police department and mounts her own investigation, Bong divulges his Hitchcockian twists and turns and changes of tone with awesome assurance. Actress Kim Hye-ja, one of the national treasures of Korean TV, subverts her apparently lovable overbearing persona to startling effect."
