The movie of the month for August is called Mother. It was directed by Jung-ho Bong and screened at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. It is considered by many to be the best Korean film of last year.
It is the story of a widow who lives alone with her only son. The son is 28 years old but he is very shy and quiet. A murder is committed, and, although there is no real evidence against him, he is considered the prime suspect. The boy’s mother is determined to protect him and prove his innocence.
