Mother, I Am Suffocating. This Is the Last Film About You.

[Opens Nov. 12 in theaters and available on various VOD platforms.] Striking cinematography dominates Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese's poignant, black-and-white, award-winning, abstract, poetic, artistic, 76-minute, 2019 essay film filled with memories as it follows an African woman who is burdened with grief and carries a heavy wooden cross on her back through the beggar-lined streets of Lesotho filled with curious eyes and symbolizing many things including the director's self-imposed exile to Berlin, Germany, while an impoverished woman knits furiously in her roofless abode and a lamb leaves the mountains only to be headless and skinned on the shoulder of a butcher.
