The Handmaiden (2016)

Synopsis

Set in 1930s Korea under Japanese rule, Park Chan-wook's lush thriller follows a young pickpocket hired as a handmaiden to a sheltered heiress, as part of a con artist's scheme to seize her fortune. But nothing — and no one — is what it seems, and the story keeps folding back on itself from multiple points of view. Gorgeously designed and slyly funny, it's a tale of deception and desire where the real power keeps shifting hands.
