As a convenient companion piece to our interview with Joon-ho Bong today, Wildgrounds.com posted a new teaser trailer as well as two new posters for the director’s upcoming thriller Mother.  (Thanks to Twitch for the heads-up.)  The teaser is only thirty seconds long and combines film and behind-the-scenes footage.  And it’s in Korean with no subtitles.  But I’ll take what I can get at this point…  Check it out below along with two new posters for the film.

Mother is about a woman who’s son is wrongfully accused and imprisoned for a brutal crime and her efforts to prove his innocence.  We’re led to believe these “efforts” consist of more than just badgering her congressman or appearing on a Nancy Grace-like show.  She sets out to find the true murderer which apparently involves kite flying, belly rubbing, running through the woods, and standing in the rain.  Typical Joon-ho Bong themes.

    I love Bong Joon-Ho. His part of Tokyo! is surreal, but humane(and funny as hell). Its like Kafka on film(but, again, funnier).

    The Tokyo! DVD drops June 30th (i think). You can pre-order and catch the trailer on the website http://tokyothemovie.com/
