"Do you think that we're good parents?" Dekanalog has revealed the official US trailer for an acclaimed indie film from Canada titled The Mother and the Bear, made by talented Canadian-Chinese filmmaker Johnny Ma. The film premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival last year and it also played at a few other festivals and is finally opening in limited release (in the US) soon. In the snow-swept city of Winnipeg, school teacher Sumi is hospitalized after a fall. On hearing the news, her anxious mother, Sara, flies over from Seoul to be with her comatose daughter — once Sara sets herself up in the young woman's apartment, she discovers she doesn't really know Sumi at all. As Sara meddles in Sumi's life via a dating app, she ends up on a journey that will leave her forever changed. "A stylized, whimsical narrative of crossed wires, secret lives, and conflicting agendas, the film is 'a uniquely charming comedy about one woman's quest to discover more about herself." Starring Kim Ho-jung, Lee Won-jae, Jonathan Kim, Amara Pedroso, Kalyn Bomback, Susan Hanson, Samantha Kendrick, and Leere Park as Sumi. Looks amusing & heartfelt. // Continue Reading ›
