Mother (contra Brody)

Two of Joon-ho Bong's films previous to Mother , 2003's Memories of Murder and 2006's The Host , impressed me greatly, and Memories of Murder is certainly among my favorite films of this century (that sounds so much more impressive than "this decade"!).  Mother didn't get me in the gut the way Memories did, but it's certainly an excellent film: compelling, thought-provoking, and visually rich.
