Drama Romance Thriller

Korea, 1930s, under Japanese rule. A conman calling himself Count Fujiwara hires Sook-hee, a young pickpocket, to become maid to Lady Hideko, a Japanese heiress kept in a mansion by her uncle, who collects rare erotic books. The plan: Sook-hee encourages Hideko to marry the Count, he takes the fortune and has her committed. The Handmaiden is Sarah Waters’ novel Fingersmith moved from Victorian England to colonial Korea, and it is told in three parts that each undo the one before.

What Happens Across The Three Parts

Part one is Sook-hee’s version, in which she falls for the woman she is supposed to betray. Part two is Hideko’s, which starts in childhood and shows the uncle’s library readings, and reveals that the con had a different target. Part three is what the two women do about it together. The uncle’s basement, with the octopus, is where the Count ends. The ending is at sea.

Why It Is Park Chan-wook’s Most Beautiful Film

The mansion is half Japanese, half English Victorian, and was built as a set. Kim Tae-ri was found in an open casting of 1,500 and this was her first film. Kim Min-hee won the Blue Dragon for Hideko. The film was not submitted for the Oscar because of its explicit scenes, and it did not need to be. It is for adult viewers.
