A woman devoted to her son struggles to keep him from spending his life in prison in this drama from
director
Bong Joon-ho. Do-jun (Weon Bin) is a man in his mid-twenties who isn't especially bright and is easily led.
Do-jun lives with his elderly mother (Kim Hye-ja), who loves him fiercely even though she has no illusions
about his abilities or his bad habits. Do-jun spends much of his spare time with Jin-tae (Jin Gu), a borderline
criminal who takes advantage of Do-jun's credulous nature, much to his mother's annoyance. When Do-jun is
arrested by police and accused of the murder of a young woman, his mother is certain he couldn't
have done it
and sets out to prove her son's innocence to police detectives, who seem more interested in closing the case
than researching other possible leads. At first, mother feels certain that Jin-tae has framed her son to avoid
being punished himself, but as she digs deeper she suspects the truth is more complicated. Madeo (aka Mother)
was an official selection at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
