Bong-Joon Ho's MOTHER (2009)

A bit Twin Peaks and Hitchcock, but instead
Of hard-boiled gumshoes or the FBI,
Our sleuth is someone's mama. A girl's dead;
And all assume it's this poor, simple guy
Who's duped into confessing. But in fact
Did he commit the deed? His mom says no
And sets herself to keeping full, intact
Her baby's honor. No Miss Marple, though
Is she. Her sordid course through what occurred
A girl's last night is full of error and
Of churning images that soon are stirred
Into a muddy moral mess (on-brand
For Ho) shows off how Hye-Ja Kim can dance
Through any scene or mood, given the chance.
