If you loved Memories of Murder, try Mother

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Bong Joon Ho, and they both carry the dread, foreign gem, raw mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Memories of Murder, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Mother is

A rural town, autumn, a murdered girl's shoes. A mother's simple life with her son unravels, a crime scene, a desperate search for truth. Bong's nuanced touch makes the absurd painfully real.
