Other films with mother-son incest theme?


Is there any other film with strong incest theme that is mother being pregnant by her son (although in this movie we know both of em aren't genetically related)? This makes me wonder whether this incident really happens out there when someone never knows that his own much younger/elder brother might be actually his own biological son/father

Why?

I know of two: Savage Grace and My Own Private Idaho. The incest theme isn't strong in the latter but it is present and I haven't seen Savage Grace but it seems to be a strong part of the film.

in My Own Private Idaho, is his brother actually his own father?

There are a few more mainstream films with mother/son incest although I can't think of any that result in pregnancy or offspring (other than some really bad horror movies). In addition to those already mentioned, others include La Luna (Bernado Bertolucci), Murmur of the Heart (Louis Malle), and Ma Mere. In Spanking the Monkey, Murmur of the Heart, and Savage Grace the relationships are fully "consummated." There are many more movies involving incest between siblings and fathers and daughters. Probably the most famous title that involves a person who has a relative who is both sibling and child is Chinatown, which is considered one of the best films ever made.

Sophia Loren made a film about incest named "Angela". It made a stir when it first came out.

If you follow the movie the incest here was not actual incest. it was later revealed that the "boy blue" wasnt her biological son.

From the director of The Last Emperor and Last Tango in Paris. Jill Clayburgh is really good in this film.

Beyond the other movies that have been mentioned, four such films are:

Black Christmas. There have been three Black Christmas movies--the 1974 original and remakes in 2006 and 2019. I'm referring to the 2006 remake. Here the mother (unlike, perhaps, in Little Boy Blue) is definitely the biological mother of the son. She is very, very disturbed and already has her son imprisoned in the attic since early in this life. Around his 12th birthday she goes up into the attic, has sex with her son, and becomes pregnant.

Incendies. This Canadian film is set in Canada and a fictional Middle Eastern country, often considered to most closely resemble Lebanon. During a civil war in that country, a woman is imprisoned and tortured, and is raped and impregnated by the torturer. She ends up having twins, and later emigrating to Canada. It is later revealed that the rapist was her long lost son, although it is not clear if either the woman or her rapist knew this at the time the rape occurs.

The other two don't involve pregnancy:

Love Strange Love (1982) aka Amor Estranho Amor is a Brazilian film set mostly in the 1930's. The 1930's scenes are flashbacks by a much older man, but almost all the film consists of his flashbacks. In the flashbacks, he is about 12 years old, living with his grandmother, but sent to the big city to the brothel his mother works at for a brief period. The brothel house seems to conveniently have many crawlways which he can use to spy on the prostitutes in the nude and having sex. He spies on several prostitutes, including but not limited to his mother. Eventually he has sex with his mother.

The Savage is Loose (1971) involves a father, a mother, and their young son stranded on a desert island. At first they are very resourceful in learning how to live under primitive conditions. When the son hits puberty, however, he starts to challenge his father for sexual access to his mother--a scenario that does not end nearly so well as the other challenges the family faced earlier in their time on the island.
