Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
After spending the summer on the festival circuit—where it seduced The A.V. Club’s critics at both Cannes and Fantastic Fest—The Handmaiden, the newest genre-defying outing from acclaimed Korean director Park Chan-wook, finally settles in to American theaters this month. Sensual, erotic, and surprisingly funny, this feminist tale of lesbian love wrapped inside a twisty Hitchcockian thriller tells the story of the love triangle between a Japanese noblewoman, her Japanese suitor, and her Korean maid—none of whom are who they appear to be on the surface—in 1930s Korea.
