saw the premiere at TIFF.. sat directly under Park Chan-Wook on the stage. This was strike 2 after I asked wife's entire extended family of young cousins to watch Old Boy because they are korean and "heard it was a masterpiece of Asian cinema". When I saw this in theaters, the only people in my theater were me (20-something lesbian) and 3 middle-age men. We made it through multiple sex scenes because we were both too awkward to stop the movie. To be fair though, Parasite is such an accessible film that I can understand why it did so well when something like Oldboy doesn't even get an international picture nomination. I mean, in all fairness, with The Handmaiden you're not even going from different directors.

That entire scene is a charm, Roger treats Peggy like his daughter, a part of me thinks that he wanted a similar relationship with Margaret. Oldboy is goddamn iconic.

(Edit, guys I fucked up sorry lol). It's a shame the Korean government tried to persecute Park, but he has done a lot of English projects and I think he'll win an oscar soon. I also thought Kim Jee-woon would end up with more international cred than Bong, when comparing their early work. Cookies help us deliver our Services. The Handmaiden octopus is the Giant Pacific octopus. I adore that scene and that exchange in particular as well. Dudes seriously underrated. Still the same guy, so you're really not diversifying the Korean film selection with the same director. Oldboy is legit one of my all time favourite movies, an absolute mastercrafted piece of art. Like I was thinking the film was about something entirely different a multiple points and eventually then the film knocks you over the head and says you are an idiot. Same here and one that came out of nowhere. I consider it a damn shame that A Taxi Driver was not nominated for a Best Foreign Film Oscar, with no disrespect to the other nominated films. I mean, in all fairness, with The Handmaiden you're not even going from different directors. Loved The Handmaiden too though, its fantastic, glad that we have this type of 'sensual' cinema to balance out the superhero explosion-fests. Think it was directed by the famous director who did Train to Busan. The octopus is used to make the ink for the books, yeah. "You know I need to make men feel at ease". Press J to jump to the feed. We got to see the amazing Handmaiden at the BFI London Film Festival a couple of weeks ago, but that didn’t stop us going again at LEAFF on Friday 21 October. I thought it was some kinky business down there. Oldboy is usually the gateway, it was for me, after that I found so much great Korean cinema and moved on to Japanese, French Italian etc, it was like coming across a whole new culture outside of Hollywood and British film I had only seen up until that point. Not to say that Bong is bad but Park has this insane, inimitable style that still gets praised about to this day. With Bong, I personally feel like Okja, for example, was a bit of a miss. 'The Handmaiden' Was an Overlooked Masterpiece of Korean Cinema - Great, you liked 'Parasite'! You’re going to see it everywhere. It didn't feel like a movie made by a legendary director. I honestly thought Handmaiden was even better! such a great film. Cookies help us deliver our Services. I want to see Korean films that aren't just Oldboy getting representation in award circles. Oh, is that what the octopus was for? My wife and I saw it at our small independent theater and it was just us and an older couple who originally came to see Madea's Spooky Halloween, which was sold out. Still the same guy, so you're really not diversifying the Korean film selection with the same director. Just happy more people are interested in SK cinema.

I saw it then too! I don't understand how The Handmaiden wasn't even nominated to best movie in a foreign language.
In Handmaiden the Korean audience will associate the octopus in the basement with a famous Japanese erotic print. “The Fisherman’s Wife” is a famous painting.

", I recommend watching it on molly with your attractive BFF, I'd say it was better than Parasite It had me invested like it was all happening to me and the plot is so well written Probably in my top two picks along with the wailing. I’ve only ever seen this painting of an octopus pleasuring a woman in (now) two shows, both happen to include Elizabeth Moss.

The Handmaiden is set in 1930s Japan-occupied Korea (back when there was no North and South), where Sook-hee (Kim Tae-ri) is chosen to be the handmaiden to the Lady Hideko (Kim Min-hee), a Japanese heiress who’s the niece of an addled pervert (Cho Jin-woong). I couldn’t find a cite on google for this, but according to my nephew Korean scholars have traditionally used octopus ink to write with, hence why the Korean name for octopus is “문어” which basically translates to “literary fish”. I'm not saying Parasite didn't deserve the win, It's just baffling to me how Parasite was the first Korean movie in being nominated for the Oscars. She's also well known for Tipping the Velvet that has a British TV adaptation similar to Fingersmith. Hope you took some pics. Yeah, I like to describe Fingersmith as a twisty Dickensian plot with lesbians. fun fact: the handmaiden is based on a british book which has a british tv adaptation called the fingersmith, def check it out if you liked the handmaiden. Everything from the acting to the costumes to the set design is top-notch.
I liked A Taxi Driver a lot but think it lost it during the third act. I watched it with my then-girlfriend's Dad while we were the only ones in the house. With Park, I know I'm always going to get something fascinating and interesting. I didn't even watch a trailer before watching it. It must be a political/networking thing, no? That's amazing!

I'm having trouble remembering if that's exactly how the aunt died, but I'm pretty sure it is. level 2. I thought Park Chan-wook would have won an oscar before Bong. For my money, Memories of Murder is one of the best films ever made. Ask wife and very Christian MIL to watch it. The Handmaiden would've cleaned up at the Oscars. I'll be honest: I thought Park Chan-wook would have won an oscar before Bong.
Did the uncle sexually and physically tortured his wife using the octopus wtf The host might be the best monster movie ever made. A Taxi Driver was so good - although I preferred the first half to the second half. I wonder how nervous he must have been when the movie swerves into its second act for the audience who wasn't familiar with The Fingersmith. Like I was thinking the film was about something entirely different a multiple points and eventually then the film knocks you over the head and says you are an idiot. Me too. We had a good moderator for the Q+A afterwards.
