A trailer for Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden has been released and can be seen below. However, I should tell you not to expect too much in the way of explaining the story as it’s a series of beautifully composed shots with zero dialogue, all set to a pounding, almost chaotic cue.
The movie is inspired by the crime drama novel “Fingersmith”, which was written by British author Sarah Waters.
“Park presents a gripping and sensual tale of a young Japanese Lady living on a secluded estate, and a Korean woman who is hired to serve as her new handmaiden, but who is secretly involved in a conman’s plot to defraud her of her large inheritance.”
Starring Kim Min-hee, Ha Jung-woo, Kim Tae-ri, The Handmaiden will be released in theaters on October 14th.
