From Park Chan-wook, the celebrated director of Oldboy, Lady Vengeance, Thirst, and Stoker, comes a ravishing new crime drama inspired by the novel Fingersmith by British author Sarah Waters. Having transposed the story to 1930s-era colonial Korea and Japan, Park presents a gripping and sensual tale of a young Japanese lady living on a secluded estate and a Korean woman hired to serve as her new handmaiden, but who is secretly involved in a conman's plot to defraud her of her large inheritance.
