18. WOOD AND WATER (2021) dir. Jonas Bak
from The Movies · host Daniel Berrios
Jonas Bak's debut "Wood and Water" stars his mother, Anke Bak, as a newly retired woman, living in Germany's Black Forest, who travels to Hong Kong to reconnect with her son, Max, whom she's not seen in three years. Through her travels and folks met along the way, she begins to embrace a new chapter of her life and reexamine her relationship to the past, parenting and how she wishes to spend the upcoming years. It's a gorgeous, meditative work that makes me think twice about my own relationship to my mom, especially after becoming a parent myself.---Follow The Movies on Instagram & LetterboxdFinancially support the podcast via the tip jar!
