Mother (Russian: Мать, Mat) is a 1926 Soviet drama film directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin. It depicts the radicalization of a mother, during the Russian Revolution of 1905, after her husband is killed and her son is imprisoned. Based on the 1906 novel The Mother by Maxim Gorky, it is the first installment in Pudovkin's "revolutionary trilogy", alongside The End of St. Petersburg (1927) and Storm Over Asia (aka The Heir to Genghis Khan) (1928).The film was banned in the United Kingdom in 1930 after the Masses Stage and Film Guild applied for permission to screen it in London.The film was voted number 8 on the prestigious Brussels 12 list at the 1958 World Expo.
In 1968, Mother underwent a restoration at Mosfilm, adding a soundtrack by Tikhon Khrennikov.
