Visionary director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Lady Vengeance, Stoker) returns with his newest feature, a visually sumptuous and hypnotic psychological thriller. Inspired by the novel Fingersmith from British author Sarah Waters (with events transposed from Victorian England to 1930s Japanese-occupied Korea), Park presents a gripping and sensual tale of a young Japanese Lady living on a secluded estate, and a Korean woman named Sookee who is hired to serve as her new handmaiden. But Sookee is secretly involved in a plot to defraud the Lady of her large inheritance, a plot increasingly complicated by the pair’s growing attraction. Powered by remarkable performances from Kim Min-hee (Right Now, Wrong Then) as Lady Hideko, and a sensational debut from actress Kim Tae-ri as the maid Sookee, The Handmaiden is a beautifully menacing film that makes for an unforgettable viewing experience.
