Finally found some time to watch this movie, and I must say : I wasn't disappointed ! I first heard about it because it was officially competing at the Cannes's Movie Festival. And then I saw that the great Park Chan Wook was the director behind it so I quickly decided to watch it. BUT, neither did I read the summary first nor watched the trailer ... and maybe I should have had. Don't get me wrong ! This movie is a masterpiece. But, I wasn't expecting that plotline AT ALL. You should be aware that it gots some serious mature contents like SEX, BDSM and violence. You can feel really uneasy watching it. But that is the reason why this movie is so beautiful : the darkness and somehow weird feels matches so well with the love story. Some scenes are magical. But just keep in mind that it is 18+ rated (basically 5 minutes of intense, non-stoping and not-really censured sex) There is three major arks in the movie: the first two ones where you get to discover and even rediscover the characters and story from different point of views, and the third one where all of your answers are answered & the story ends. This combination might seems odd to some viewers, as we sometimes get to rewatch the same scenes. But I personally find it really interesting. The two main actresses are absolutely perfect. They convey all the feels of their characters in an emotional way. As it is stayed in the summary, they will both 'discover some unexpected emotions'. Lesbian relationship in Korean movies are quite unusual and I must say that this one is breaking down HUGE taboos. The geniuses of Park Chan Wook was to gamble on this idea, in a country where he perfectly knows that the critics will get fierce. Thanks to a good casting choice, I personally think that he won his bet. I was surprisingly amazed by Kim Tae Ri (Sook Hee)'s acting. She's new, It's her first movie. The idea of new fits perfectly her character. The way she acted was stunning. I want to see her in more things from now on. Anyway if you're 18+, interested in some good suspenseful stories and open-minded regarding this movie love plot line, you will definitely enjoy it. It's not Old Boy sure ...but it is The Handmaiden. They both have their qualities and universe. Special mention to the ending song which was absolutely gorgeous ... kinda combines all of the feels that this movie gives you.
