Review of The Handmaiden (2016) by Christopher R — 13 Apr 2017
Not such a good film in my opinion. Classy porno, not really. plot very thin, not particularly intricate. Not sure whether the Marquis du Sade's Juliette was the principal influence behind this movie, although it was not credited. Western audiences will find it impossible to distinguish the Japanese language from the Korean, merely adding to the confusion.
One of those films which are over-hyped by the media. Better than some but not the best ever.
