Some of you may know that Oldboy is one of my favorite films of all-time. It’s beautiful, brutal, intense, and seriously fucked-up in the best way possible (if you haven’t seen it yet, please do yourself a favor and watch it. Just avoid the remake at all costs). So it’s fair to say I’ve been eagerly anticipating the trailer for Park Chan-wook’s latest film, The Handmaiden. Following the tale of two women- a young lady living in seclusion and her handmaiden who is not whom she appears to be- you can color me intrigued.
I am definitely not disappointed with this trailer. It looks sexy, sensual, gorgeous, and mysterious, and I can’t wait to see the twists and turns the plot is sure to take.
The Handmaiden hits theaters October 14, 2016. Make sure to keep up to date with the film on the official website and the film’s Twitter and Facebook pages.
Amazon Studios and Magnolia Pictures will be releasing the film.
