Motherhood–Korean Style

Bong Joon-ho’s fourth feature, “Mother,” was well received when it world premiered at the Cannes Film Fest in May, though critics were surprised that the picture was placed in the “Certain Regard” series, rather than the more prestigious competition, where South Korea was represented with a lesser effort, the socially-conscious vampire tale, “Thirst.”
 
"Mother" has just been selected to represent Korea for the best foreign language film in the next year's Oscar. The film plays at the Toronto and then N.Y. Film Fests.  According to the Korean Film Council, the strength of the story's narrative, its potential for a wide release in the U.S. and the director's reputation were considered as priorities for the final contender.
