Preview: Mother (Madeo) + Bong Joon-Ho in conversation
The first time Korea's young maverick director visited us a decade ago, he shared a stage with Chinese newcomer Jia Zhangke. Following a screening of his blackly comic and exquisitely shot new film Mother, we welcome him back as a 'star' in his own right. In prospect: a mixture of cinephile reflections, offbeat humour and insights into the ups and downs of Korean cinema in the 2000s. Chaired by Tony Rayns.
