Adapted from Sarah Waters’ Fingersmith, the critically acclaimed novel of deception and sexuality in Victorian Britain, comes the latest from virtuoso filmmaker Chan-wook Park. In 1930s Korea a young woman becomes a servant in an opulent estate where everything isn’t as it seems. Concealing secrets of her own, the new handmaiden ventures into a world filled with love, betrayal and more than a few “things” of naughtiness.
