Wiki.

The Handmaiden (Korean: 아가씨; RR: Agassi; lit. '"Lady"') is a 2016 South Korean historical erotic psychological thriller film directed, co-written and co-produced by Park Chan-Wook and starring Kim Min-hee, Kim Tae-ri, Ha Jung-woo and Cho Jin-woong. It is inspired by the 2002 novel Fingersmith by Welsh writer Sarah Waters, with the setting changed from Victorian era Britain to Korea under Japanese colonial rule.

The Handmaiden was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. It was released in South Korea on 1 June 2016, to widespread critical acclaim praising above all its direction, screenplay, score, cinematography and performances, and grossed over US$38 million worldwide. At the 71st British Academy Film Awards, the film won the category of Best Film Not in the English Language. The movie made up to various list of top 10 year's best of 2016 and since then it has been regarded as Chan-Wook's finest works since Oldboy (2003), one of the best films of 2016, of the 2010s and one of the greatest movies of South Korean cinema.
