Park Chan Wook’s THE HANDMAIDEN Gets a New Poster

A new poster has been released for Park Chan Wook‘s (Oldboy, Stoker) latest, The Handmaiden, which is based on the British novel Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. The film revolves around a Korean woman hired as a handmaiden on a Japanese estate who is plotting to defraud the matriarch of her inheritance. A new trailer will be released this Friday, but for now you can look below for the previously released, and very awesome, teaser.

The Handmaiden opens in theaters October 14th.

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 who is hired to serve as her new handmaiden, but who is secretly involved in a conman’s plot to defraud her of her large inheritance. Powered by remarkable performances from KIM Min-hee (RIGHT NOW, WRONG THEN) as Lady Hideko, HA Jung-woo (THE CHASER) as the conman who calls himself the Count and sensational debut actress KIM Tae-ri as the maid Sookee, THE HANDMAIDEN borrows the most dynamic elements of its source material and combines it with PARK Chan-wook’s singular vision and energy to create an unforgettable viewing experience.
