"There may not be a director currently working who's more of an evil genius, or whose movies offer more double-edged delights." -Boston Globe. From Park Chan-wook, virtuoso director of OLDBOY and LADY VENGEANCE, this thriller set in 1930s-era colonial Korea and Japan is "just pure cinema, a dizzying, disturbing fable of love and betrayal that piles on luxurious imagery, while never losing track of its story's human core." -The Atlantic
"Go see it. If you love cinema at all, go see it." -Detroit News
1930s Korea, in the period of Japanese occupation, a new girl (Kim Tae-ri) is hired as a handmaiden to a Japanese heiress (Kim Min-hee) who lives a secluded life on a large countryside estate with her domineering Uncle (Jo Jin-woong). But the maid has a secret. She is a pickpocket recruited by a swindler posing as a Japanese Count (Ha Jung-woo) to help him seduce the Lady to elope with him, rob her of her fortune, and lock her up in a madhouse. The plan seems to proceed according to plan until Sookee and Hideko discover some unexpected emotions... Rated R, 155 mins.
