	Mother Night (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mother Night is a 1996 film based on the 1961 book by Kurt Vonnegut of the same name.
		The film ends as it began—with Campbell sitting in his Israeli jail cell awaiting his trial.
		At the very end of the film Campbell receives a letter from "Frank Wirtanen." The corroborating evidence that he was indeed an American spy during World War II had finally arrived.

	New York State Writers Institute - Okasan/The Mother Film Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		His first films were a blend of comedy and melodrama, their worldviews often grim and ironic.
		Mother was based on the winning entry in a national essay contest among elementary school children, and the film is told, uniquely, from a child’s perspective.
		As [French film critic] Alain Masson astutely observes, his style is complex and rent with oppositions-Masson calls them antagonisms-between the calm surface of everyday routine and the base flness of the world; between fracture and composure; between delicacy and brutality.

		Early in the film, her husband, Shyamu, is injured while working in the field and is unable to assist the family.
		In one of the film’s early scenes, Mehboob depicts Radha’s marriage to Shyamu, juxtaposing her radiance as a young bride to the previous, opening scene, that of Radha aged and worn.
		As Birju lies in his mother’s lap, dying of the wound she inflicted, he holds out to her the wedding bracelets that she had been forced to sell to the moneylender during the famine that opens the film.

	Film \| The Mother
		The Mother is contrived and self-important drama, scripted by Hanif Kureishi and directed by Roger Michell.
		The Mother progresses in three acts: first, an elderly married couple come to see their grown-up son and daughter in London and find that, what with their stressful busy lives, these go-ahead young professionals simply don't have much time for their poor old mum and dad, who conceal their hurt feelings as best they can.
		The second part commences as the mother begins her explosive sexual affair with Darren, played by Daniel Craig, a laidback carpenter of her son's acquaintance.

	Mother superior - Film - www.theage.com.au
		And I'm not one of those mothers who sits drinking coffee in the kitchen while the kids are playing away on their own.
		Finding Neverland was filmed more than two years ago, well before she had Joe, but Mia was able to join her on set as much of it was filmed 10 minutes from their home.
		Which does not for a moment suggest that her resolve is weakening, because it is also a genuinely lovely and poignant film, its sunny scenes of a family playing at pirates in the garden balanced by a constant sense that life does not, in general, deliver much happiness.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Mother and Son
		For reasons the film never explains, the mother lives in a house that seems far from civilization, in a meadow adjacent to a beach.
		Mother and Son is shot mostly in daylight, with the characters and "action" easily discernible, but it's clearly the work of the same man. The visual distortions, trancelike pace, painterly beauty of the previous film are used to even greater effect here.
		Mother and Son is also an elegy, not only for the physical death of the mother but for the end of Russia that in her terror and serenity she clearly represents.

	My Mother India - film review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Safina Uberoi, the narrator, tells the story of her mother, an Australian who married an Indian PhD student and moved to India, her father, a Sikh turned liberal atheist turned Sikh again, and his parents, a guru and a feisty misandrist.
		But what starts off as a quirky family story about personal identity and movement between cultures touches on darker issues of group identity, with the family on the edge of the communal violence sparked by the 1984 attack on the Sikh temple at Amritsar and the assassination of Indira Gandhi.
		My Mother India touches on complex issues with sensitivity and balance - when, for example, the ethnic violence during the 1947 Partition is described briefly to provide historical context.

		Basu had so great a regard for the Mother that she was perhaps the only person who could call on him without a prior appointment.
		Rajiv Nath said the idea of making a film on the Mother struck him when he was in Europe in connection with his work Mamma is waiting which was shot in Kyrgizstan.
		Nath, whose Malayalam film Janani won the best director's award a few years back, said though motherhood has been a recurring theme in his films there was nothing 'premeditated' about it.

	Film \| Earth mother
		It is a novel about the power and cruelty of both family and nature, about the enduring presence of the land and the courage of the human spirit in the face of hardship.
		Against this background - but of equal stature - is the story of the daughter of the family, Chris Guthrie, and her evolution from schoolgirl to wife to mother to widow then finally becoming a symbol for Scotland itself.
		It is a film that has to be made.

	P.O.V. - Every Mother's Son . Film Synopsis \| PBS
		As documented in "Every Mother's Son," a new film having its premiering nationally on public television's P.O.V. series, Diallo's killing in 1999 was only the most publicized example of an alarming trend in the city and nation.
		One minute Baez, who was about to begin training to become a police officer, was tossing a football with his brothers in front of their Bronx home; the next minute he was lying on the ground, choked to death by officer Francis Livoti after the football bounced off Livoti's squad car.
		When we met the three mothers, Iris, Kadi, and Doris, we knew we had it; these women were building bridges out of their own grief between tragedy and social change.

		Toshiko, meanwhile, harbors suspicions that her mother is falling for her Uncle Kimura (Daisuke Katô)—fondly nicknamed "Uncle Prisoner" after his time as a POW in Manchuria—even as she herself starts to feel the first stirrings of love and passion.
		The mood throughout is, rather surprisingly for Naruse, almost sickly sweet, but there's clearly a self-awareness to Mother, nowhere more evident than in the director's brilliant use, during a movie-within-the-movie sequence, of a "The End" intertitle that rather harshly defuses the sentiment on display.
		Though Mother is not one of Naruse's best it does contain one of his finest closing images in which an exhausted Masako brushes back an errant strand of hair while Toshiko immortalizes her in poetic voiceover.

	OFFOFFOFF film review MOTHER'S CROSSING documentary movie by Lode Desmet
		"Mother's Crossing" is a modest enough film — it simply shows one family's attempt to cross from Turkey into Greece — but it makes a big impression on the mind and heart.
		A scene when they stop to inflate a rubber raft was the point when it really sank in that they could easily be swallowed up by the river in the fl of night and vanish forever in one fatal instant.
		Director Lode Desmet of Belgium says that in fact, Turkish and Greek authorities are under pressure from EU countries to block this clandestine immigration, so journeys like the one we see may become steadily more difficult and perhaps more dangerous.

	kamera.co.uk - film review - Mother India directed by Mehboob Khan - reviewed by Simon Jones
		Considered by many as the cornerstone of Indian commercial cinema and described by Salman Rushdie as "all-conquering", this remarkable film became the first Indian Film to be nominated for an Academy Award and it is easy to see why it has remained in continuous distribution ever since its original release in 1957.
		Her weather-beaten features setting the tone for much of what is to come, she is immediately recognisable as a woman forged by suffering and it soon becomes clear that it is her story that Khan intends to relay.
		I have seen film Mother India for more than ten times and I can say very confidently that film was a brilliant effort of Mehboob Khan.

		Time, it seems, is the one thing Bobby can't spare his mother, and she finds herself drawn to Darren (Daniel Craig) - the apparently easygoing handyman who's dating Paula and spending long hours around the usually empty house.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Mother (1996)
		What makes Mother, a comedy from the relentlessly wry and witty writer-director-star Albert Brooks, funny is how insightfully it portrays the stereotypical relationship between a grown man and his mother.
		Albert Brooks and Debbie Reynolds, her first starring role in a film in eons, have a magnificent chemistry, playing off each other with perfect comic timing.
		As is typical of Albert Brooks comedies, Mother proves yet again that comedies can be funny and intelligent at the same time and that sometimes subtlety works better than over exaggeration.

		Scripted by the congenitally unsentimental Hanif Kureishi, The Mother gives Reid the role of a lifetime as the recently widowed May, who comes down to stay with her middle class son in London and can't find the courage to leave.

		Not often mentioned is the film's subject of how awkwardly families can not only handle sexuality but sudden loss.

		"Mother Night" is certainly one of the most underappreciated films of the decade and I cannot understand why.
		It stays almost entirely faithful to Vonnegut's book (without being stilted or overly literary) and adds to it a poetry that is purely cinematic.
		Not only is it a beautiful film, it is a beautifully acted, written and directed film and it is among my picks for the top five or so American films of the 1990s.
