From Park Chan-wook, the celebrated director of Oldboy, Lady Vengeance and Stoker, comes a ravishing new crime drama. Park presents a gripping and sensual tale of two women - a young Japanese Lady living on a secluded estate, and a Korean woman who is hired to serve as her new handmaiden, but is secretly plotting with a conman to defraud her of a large inheritance. Inspired by the novel Fingersmith by British author Sarah Waters, The Handmaiden borrows the most dynamic elements of its source material and combines it with Park Chan-wook’s singular vision to create an unforgettable viewing experience.

This movie was kinda hard to guess lol it has a twisted plot ever! I love it tho. Ya know it is a good movie when you couldn't tell what's the ending gonna be.

Though some scenes were a bit graphic, it was visually stunning with a compelling story that had twists more than once. I feel it's in a category of its own, and now one of my favorite films.

An amazingly and beautifully directed movie. Definitely a must watch. It's a shame it didn't get nominated for the Oscars.
