Movie Review: THE HANDMAIDEN

The Handmaiden is the latest film from acclaimed Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook. The film stars Kim Min-hee, Kim Tae-ri, and Ha Jung-woo. This is a film you should really see without knowing anything about so all I will say with respect to the plot is that it is a period piece set in Japanese occupied Korea where there is a plot to get money in some way involving a handmaiden. This film is really excellent so the lack of information going in will serve you well.
