[HanCinema's Film Review] "Mother Land"
By William Schwartz | Published on
South Korea is not generally known for stop motion animation, and press material for "Mother Land" on the festival circuit made note of the fact that this is the first feature film anyone in South Korea has made in this style in forty five years. While "Mother Land" did get an official South Korean release in the holiday season of 2022, the fantasy story of a girl of the Yates tribe in Siberia trying to help her sick mother has only had limited distribution success. You're unlikely to find it under the title of "Mother Land" incidentally, as that title was a bad one.
