| + | Park Chan-wook, an already extremely accomplished director at the time of making this film, is truly an auteur, seamlessly writing meaning into each frame with subtlety and precision. Many of his previous works reached great acclaim and worldwide recognition, yet many see The Handmaiden as his most successful work. This is perhaps due to the huge number of readings that can be done on the film’s meaning, but it is also perhaps because Park - a straight man - manages to create an incredibly interesting and successful dialogue on the male gaze. It is near impossible to create a lesbian storyline that acknowledges, describes, and shows the sexuality of women who love women without being accused of perpetuating the male gaze or casting the characters through such a lens. The Handmaiden is not without its critics in this respect, however I believe that Park is successful in flipping the script and creating a film that holds the male gaze up to a mirror - one held by a lesbian woman. | ||

| + | Through symbolism Park creates deeper meaning in The Handmaiden, and in doing so simultaneously acknowledges the prevalence of the male gaze in lesbian romance, and subverts it - untying the two from one another and casting away male gaze, if only briefly. Symbolism is ever-present in The Handmaiden, this film alone could be the subject of a university course. However due to the constraints of this paper’s format, this essay will explore in-depth two of the major parts of mise-en-scene that create meaning in The Handmaiden: framing and costuming. | ||
