Film The Handmaiden

[JoeTheStoner]

If you find sexual intrigue and secret identities and serpents guarding doors and a random, prominent octopus appealing, then mark your calendar for this Friday, October 21, when Oldboy director Park Chan-wook's exquisite, engrossing Korean Gothic lesbian revenge thriller The Handmaiden will be released. This beauty of a film — about a poor Korean pickpocket who becomes the handmaiden to a wealthy Japanese lady, all in the name of helping a handsome crook seduce her and take all her money — gives you 144 minutes of welcome escape from our bleak, chaotic election season.

feel blessed to of seen this earlier. urge all do to seek it out asap.
