From the visionary director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Stoker) comes an epic new thriller inspired by Sarah Waters' best-selling novel 'Fingersmith'.

 

Relocated to Korea under Japanese colonial rule in the 1930s, The Handmaiden is a deliciously twisty tale of revenge, centring on an heiress, her con man uncle and the lady-in-waiting for whom she begins to fall. One of the year’s most anticipated films – this is an opulent and labyrinthine tale of deception, romance and triple-crossing that marks a career high for one of modern cinema’s most thrilling auteurs.
