Hush now, baby, don't you cry - Barbara Scharres from Cannes
Yesterday's most blazingly good (and funny) film was Bong Joon-ho's "Mother", another dark comedy from Korea. Although he had a cult hit in the U.S. with his 2006 film "The Host", his earlier features "Barking Dogs Never Bite" and "Memories of Murder" have only been seen on the festival circuit or in cinematheques. "Mother" is very likely to open a few more theater doors in the West.

One of these days I'm going to actually watch Barking Dogs Never Bite. For some reason its one of those I bought after seeing The Host and Memories of Murder but never watched.
I'm interested to see Vengeance too after Eberts blog yesterday.
