Yo this was cute but it's hella sad too. I need to watch more Kim Ki-Duk though, really liked Time and 3-Iron.

I just got back from watching The Handmaiden a second time. The first time I just went with my SO, but the second time I managed to drag along five other friends to watch it with me. Man, I was extremely impressed with this movie. I read Fingersmith in high school, and I never imagined that it would ever get a movie adaptation, much less from Park Chan-Wook! I was really looking forward to this the moment it was announced. While it's been a while since I last read the book, I do think that the final act of the movie was pretty different, but I think I prefer the movie version of it. I didn't expect the romance to as sweet as it was, and I think everyone involved pulled that off very well. It's a really visceral film too, I really liked the care taken in both the presentation and setting...made everything feel textured and lush. Hopefully a blu ray comes out soon with it because I'm snapping that up asap. I also heard that there's apparently an extended edition or a director's cut? Hopefully that makes its way stateside.
