Day 9 of Best Films of the 2010s: The Handmaiden (2016)


I really loved this one, it was a unique and cool adaptation of Sarah Waters’ Fingersmith, taking a story initially set in mid-19th century England and transferring it to 1930s Japan-occupied Korea, and making it fit perfectly. I loved the twists and weirdness of the thriller, the sometimes absurd comedy, the gorgeous set design, the intense eroticism, and its overall creativity. I haven’t seen it since it came out, but I adored it in theaters, I thought it was so much fun to watch.
