Academic Analysis
The Handmaiden is a story of love, connection, control, and betrayal. In three parts, the film weaves a complex story of two women - Lady Hideko and her Korean maid, Sook-hee. Each of the film’s parts slowly illuminates more of the story, relationships, and motivations of these two women, along with the swindler Count Fujiwara and Hideko’s perverted uncle Kouzuki.
