When a girl is murdered, circumstantial evidence suggests his involvement. Eager to close the case, sloppy cops make him prime suspect. Mother hires a lawyer, but he proves just as incompetent. Betrayed by the system, she takes things into her own hands to clear her son’s name. Mother will do whatever she must to find the killer—even if it means breaking the law. After his hit monster movie The Host (2006), director Bong turned to a different kind of monster: that icon of Korean cinema, the warm-hearted mother. Subverting this archetype, the film depicts Mother’s love as pathological. With little else of value in life, she is consumed by the role she has adopted for herself.*Director Bong Joon Ho is the current Palme D'Or winner for his latest film, Parasite (2019). He is the first South Korean director ever to be honoured with this award.  To Note:- All film screenings are held at Oldham Theatre, National Archives of Singapore. - Tickets can also be purchased at the Oldham Theatre Box Office.

They oscillate between the virtuous and the vampish, the pitiful and the horrific, the subjugated and the fiercely independent.Featuring historically important early classics, popular genre films and critically acclaimed works by iconic male and female Korean directors, the programme’s 24 female character-driven films offer a retrospective view on female representation in Korean cinema, and open up new perspectives through the restoration of their faces within the cinematic imaginary.Supported by the Korean Film Archive (KOFA)
