I usually like Park Chan-wook's work, every frame is handled so well visually. <br />I haven't seen The Handmaiden yet.

I need to write about this one cos I really wanna knock up a best of 2016 list! :P<br /><br />If you were to make such a list, would this one be up the top? Did you like it more than The Witch?<br /><br />I agree with you totally that Park could school other directors on how to film this sort of material right. You're also spot on in that American film is... well, neutered really. That's why I'm always looking for more foreign films like this one. Its long but soooo worth it. Every frame does feel like a painting too, you're right. That aspect of it reminded me a lot of Tarkovsky, which is a pretty big compliment I think!epileptic.moondancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645198290574147035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-65438073355207624722017-02-01T00:32:27.178+01:002017-02-01T00:32:27.178+01:00I so want to fucking see this since I first heard ...I so want to fucking see this since I first heard about it in 2015.
