So, I’ve had this film on my phone for a few weeks now but I was quite skeptical about seeing it. The reason being, well the cover photo wasn’t exactly encouraging. But I was intrigued because I saw an actress whose acting I’ve enjoyed in the past. So, I was like, why not? With bated breath, I got around to seeing this film two days ago, and let’s just say… You know what, I’ll just leave my review for the next few p…More

I really enjoy Korean cinema because at least in some categories of films they are not predictable like most movies from Hollywood are. The "good guys" lose as often as they win in Korean films and often it isn't even very easy to determine who the good guys even are until the film totally wraps up. src The fact that this movie looks a bit old-timey might scare some people away but please don't let yourself be one o…More

Esa calificación, se debe en su mayoría a que es una adaptación a película de mi libro preferido, Fingersmith, que además cuenta también con una adaptación a mini serie de la cual estaré habland…More

This is a 2016 Korean gem of a film! It has a good story with surprising twists, excellent acting, and beautiful photography. The movie is quite long at 2:25 hours for the regular version and almost 2:50 for the extended version, which is the one I just saw. The first scenes when we are seeing the house where most of the events take place are breathtaking. The quality of the image is top-notch and it is obvious righ…More
Lady Hideko and Sookee The handmaiden is one of those film gems that I've discovered exploring the cinema of other regions and in other languages. Not in vain he won the BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Language Film this year. This Korean film by director Park Chan-wook is difficult to frame within a single genre because it has a lot of psychological thriller, but also drama, erotic novel, gothic and romantic. Seeing t…More
Lady Hideko y Sookee The handmaiden, traducido como "La doncella" es una de esas joyas fílmicas que he descubierto explorando el cine de otras regiones y en otros idiomas. No en balde obtuvo el Premio BAFTA a Mejor película de habla no inglesa en su última entrega. Esta película coreana del director Park Chan-wook es difícil de enmarcar dentro de un único género porque tiene mucho de thriller psicológico, pero tambi…More

The Handmaiden represents the fusion of the various phases of Park's career a…More
Korean cinema strikes again and this film is something you definitely do not want to watch with your parents unless you have a very different relationship with yours than I do with mine. *it says 18+ for very good reasons* The story takes place in Japanese occupied Korea although the exact time is not made clear. It is a story of a poor Korean girl who works with people who dabble in not-exactly-legal practices like…More
이 영화는 3부로 나뉘어져 있는데 각 부만 따로 놓고 봐도 나름의 이야기가 완성됩니다. 1부에선 숙희(김태리 분)가 아가씨(히데코, 김민희 분)를 이용해 먹으려다가 된통 당했다는 이야기, 2부에선 아가씨가 산전수전 겪던 저택을 빠져나가려다가 숙희와 사랑에 빠졌다는 이야기, 3부에선 숙희와 아가씨를 이용해 먹던 백작(하정우 분)과 이모부(코우즈키, 조진웅 분)가 진흙탕싸움을 한다는 이야기입니다. 1부에선 소설적 연출이 주를 이룹니다. 숙희는 아가씨를 이용해먹으려고 했지만 그녀의 본성인 버려진 아기들을 주워다 귀족의 자제로 넘기는 일로 인해 아기같은 아가씨에게 동정심을 느낍니다. 특히 숙희의 내래이션이 많이 사용되고 있는데 아가씨와 베드씬에서 설득력을 가지게 되는 도구중 하나입니다. 이로인해 숙희의 내면의 변화를 알수있지만 이는 쉽게쉽게 가는…More
