Mother - South Korean Film

I just saw that a South Korean movie, "Mother," will be coming to the big screen in the States.  You can watch it on youtube, but I suggest waiting to see it in the theaters.  If you like Korean movies, the more viewers they get in the States, the more likely you will get to see more on the big screen.  You can see it March 12, 2010.  Mother is a thriller movie by the same guy (Bong Joon-ho) who directed "Memories of Murder" and "The Host."

Synopsis

"Hye-ja is a single mom to 27-year-old Do-joon. Her son is her raison d’être. Though an adult in years, Do-joon is naïve and dependent on his mother, and a constant source of anxiety, often behaving in ways that are foolish or simply dangerous. Walking home alone one night down a nearly empty city street, he encounters a young girl who he follows for a while before she disappears into a dark alley. The next morning, she is found dead in an abandoned building and Do-joon is accused of her murder. Thanks to an inefficient lawyer and an apathetic police force, Do-joon’s case is quickly closed, but his mother refuses to let this be the end of the story. Trusting no one, Hye-ja’s maternal instincts kick into overdrive, and she sets out to find the girl’s killer and prove her son’s innocence."
