After over a year of waiting I fInally got round to watching The Handmaiden, and no, I wasn't disappointed.
It's based on the novel 'Fingersmith' by Sarah Waters, and to take what is a Victorian-era novel and transplant it in 30's Korea without losing a step shows a filmmaker at the top of their game.
It is effectively an ? thriller where relationships prove to be provocative and ultimately twisted: where sex seems like nothing but a long con and nothing is as it seems at first glance. Like all films that Park Chan-Wook tackles this could have easily fallen into the absurd, but as always you witness a masterclass in cinema.
Park Chan-Wook is one of my favourite directors out there, and to me this is up there with his best. I watched the theatrical version, and there is supposed to be a director's cut available as well - I'll be seeking that one out too.
A two and a half hour German comedy doesn't sound like the most appealing of films, but what you get is a genuinely humorous character study that is as happy to be as absurd as be invest in the humanist side of its subjects.
It is literally a film about a father following her daughter about in a quite stalkerish and creepy manner: a daughter who to put it politely, has outgrown her father. It's the interaction along with the sheer ridiculous set-pieces that see that armour gradually chip away to reveal a relationship of yesteryear.
It's already getting a Hollywood remake with Jack Nicholson and Kristen Wiig... I have low expectations. -
The handmaiden was the ? .
Been wanting to catch Elle for a long time but don't know where to watch (don't wana see it illegally).
The raid redemption is the best action movie I've ever seen. -

This ? was so fire. That scene where they used to shields to blind the oncoming army, then send out the second line to slaughter them all as they fell off their horses was GOAT.
Dude fighting off folks with a baby in his arms, GOAT. Such dope fighting in this movie. -
