Mother!
Director: Darren Aronofsky
Actors: Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris
PlotA young woman lives with her husband in a remote, sprawling house in the countryside. She is devoted to him and spends her days renovating their once-burnt home, which is a source of pride and solace for her poet husband who is struggling with writer's block. Their tranquil existence is disrupted when a mysterious stranger arrives at their doorstep one night, claiming to be a fan of the husband's work. The husband, eager for outside connection and admiration, welcomes the stranger in, much to his wife's confusion and discomfort. Soon, the man's wife also arrives, and the couple ingratiates themselves into the lives of the host and his young wife, causing tension and upheaval.
As the house becomes a revolving door for uninvited guests who admire the poet's work, the young wife finds herself increasingly distressed and bewildered by her husband's willingness to welcome strangers who show him adoration. The tranquil home they built together slowly transforms into a hotbed of chaos and disrespect towards her and the space she treasures. Her husband remains oblivious or indifferent to her discomfort, driven by his craving for adulation and creative inspiration, which the guests seem to fuel. This growing disconnect between the couple sets the stage for an escalating series of events that challenge their relationship and the very fabric of their existence.
