EASTERN PROMISES presents MOTHER

EASTERN PROMISES is dedicated to showcasing the best of East Asian cinemas, from beloved classics to forgotten gems. Celebrating 4/20 and the films of Bong Joon-Ho, The Paradise Bloor Theatre and Eastern Promises Presents an all-day event… Bong Hits!!

We’re starting the day of Bong Hits with a doozy of crime melodrama, Bong Joon-Ho’s Mother.

A widow (Kim Hye-ja) resides with her mentally challenged son (Won-bin) in a small South Korean town, where she scrapes out a living selling medicinal herbs. Mother and son are plunged into a nightmare when the body of a murdered young girl is discovered. Circumstantial evidence indicates the son's involvement, and he becomes the prime suspect during the sloppy police investigation. Betrayed by the legal system, the mother takes the law into her own hands to clear her son's name.
