From
Park Chan-wook
, the 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 experience.
