Episode 146 The Handmaiden
While we love the guy, it’s important to remember that South Korean cinema is more than just Bong Joon-ho. Take Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden (2016) for example. This inspired adaptation of Sarah Waters’ novel, Fingersmith, succeeds on every level. With its sublime cinematography, surprising plot twists, superb performances, and super hot gay sex to boot, this movie deserves to be remembered as one of the best of the past decade.
