The Handmaiden

Today Griffey and Dandino find love, dirty scrolls and money in The Handmaiden. They unravel a tale told multiple times from different POV's and the rich tapestry it creates, the use of steamy romance to add much needed flesh to the victorian story, and the films many shocking reveals. This is truly one of the finest movies ever made. A true masterclass in filmmaking that would be MESSED UP to ignore.
