Bhutto

The director of contemporary Korean classics Memories of Murder and The Host returns with a wickedly twisted tale about what can happen when a mother’s love for her son goes too far.

Part detective story, part melodrama but still a totally original construct with its own shape and style. This darkly comic film from South Korean director Bong Joon-Ho has quickly acquired cult status. Maternal love comes into its own as a mother turns super-sleuth to seek justice for her son.

Dir Bong Joon-Ho, 2009, South Korea, 129 mins, cert 15.

Eccentricites of a Blond-Haired Girl

A delightful miniature from Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira to mark his 100th birthday. A young accountant falls in love with a beautiful woman he spies across the street, although this seemingly simple set-up holds some gentle surprises. A light touch, a breezy running-time and a cool charm – the perfect summer movie.
