The Handmaiden

Director Chan-wook Park can put another instant classic in his filmography. Filled with beautifully framed imagery, alternating between Japanese and Korean dialogue, we got a psychological and erotic story here that contains some delicious plot twists and turns. Thieves and con-artists. Two female characters who just want to escape their lives. Riches and luxury. A perverted uncle. Some tragic backstories. A charming but duplicitous man. Some wicked sense of humor. This movie captivated me from beginning until the end. 

Big kudos to the two lead female actresses; Kim Tae-ri and Min-hee Kim, for some amazing work here. From subtle facial reactions to full blown physical sensuality, they deserve your utmost attention for the characters they brought to life in this fantastic story.
