Dynamic Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook creates a ravishing crime tale with this gripping and sensual story of two women: a young Japanese Lady (Kim Min-hee) living with her decadent guardian (Cho Jin-woong) on a secluded estate, and a Korean woman (Kim Tae-ri) hired to serve as her handmaiden, but secretly plotting with a bogus Count (Ha Jung-woo) to defraud her of a large inheritance. Inspired by the novel Fingersmith by Welsh writer Sarah Waters, Park has moved her story’s setting from Victorian Britain to Korea in the 1930s, when it was under Japanese colonial rule. Graced with sumptuous costumes and production design, this highly erotic film is a bold and bracing experience. For adult audiences. In Korean with English subtitles. Director: Park Chan-wook. (South Korea 2016) 145 min.
