"The Handmaiden is just pure cinema, a dizzying, disturbing fable of love and betrayal that piles on luxurious imagery, while never losing track of its story's human core." - The Atlantic

"Park Chan-wook is a master of classy trash... There's artistry in his filmmaking, but also a lot of blood, plenty of sick humor and moments of sheer lunacy. The Handmaiden ranks among his best films yet."
- Chicago Sun-Times

"The surface is classical, while Park's perversity bubbles up from beneath." - New York Magazine

Park Chan-wook presents a gripping and sensual tale of a young Japanese Lady living on a secluded estate, and a Korean woman who is hired as her new handmaiden, who is secretly involve in a conman's plot to defraud her of her large inheritance.
