Alexander Sokurov's extraordinarily lyrical film is a beautiful and tender exploration of the deep affection between an dying mother and her devoted adult son. Set in a hauntingly beautiful landscape which Sokurov's camera transforms into stunning cinematic canvases, the pair recall happier times as the dutiful son lovingly nurses his ailing mother in her final hours. The first part in a proposed trilogy about familial bonds that continues with the captivating 'Father and Son', 'Mother and Son' is an emotional and poetic masterpiece of unique vision.A unique visual stylist, Sokurov is the most important filmmaker to have emerged from Russia since his mentor, Andrei Tarkovsky. Several of his other acclaimed films are available on DVD: Father And Son, Russian Ark, and The Sun.
