The Handmaiden
DramaRomanceThriller145 min
On a remote estate in 1930s Korea under Japanese occupation, a young pickpocket is hired as maid to a Japanese heiress as part of a plan to steal her inheritance. Kim Tae-ri is Sook-hee, planted in the household by a swindler posing as a count, while Kim Min-hee's Hideko lives in seclusion under the watch of her domineering uncle Kouzuki. Directed by Park Chan-wook, the film builds its setup around class, deception, and the increasingly complicated bond between the servant who arrives with an agenda and the woman she has been sent to betray.
