The Handmaiden - Official Trailer
“The handmaiden” was adopted from the novel “Fingersmith” by the author Sarah Waters, published in 2002. The film has transposed the story to 1930s-era colonial Korea and Japan (1910-1945). An orphan girl is hired by a man to gain trust of a wealthy female heir, but eventually the two girls have feelings for each other.
The film has an age restriction of 19+ because the content refers to the issue of pornography, lesbian with real, naked scenes that make audience awkward moments. The Handmaiden is the first Korean film to win the Best Foreign Film Award at the British Academy Movie Awards (BAFTA). In addition, the film's director also won the Baeksang Arts Award in the movie category.
