To open up our third season, Gaby and Andreina discuss the South Korean film The Handmaiden , directed by Park Chan-wook. Acclaimed by critics, this movie is a work of extraordinary vision from beginning to end: cinematography, performances, costume and set design, in addition to an incredibly well-written script–every detail of this film shows the highest ambition and achievement. We hope you enjoy our discussion and fall in love with this movie as much as we did. ***Spoiler alert!
