it was fine, worth watching. not the transcendent viewing experience everyone makes it out to be. too many running montages and most of the characters died in too short of a time period to keep my interest for very long (because watching someone run for 20 minutes really didn't do it).

The Handmaiden 2016
this movie was amazing!
it was brought to my attention by a video essay about the male gaze and different film attempts to subvert it. while i think that this movie did a lot to try to subvert the male gaze within itself, we the audience end up in that position (esp the final scene).
nonetheless, i loved the intricacies of character reactions and facial expressions, and the actors were incredible. this movie made me laugh when i really did not expect it to. sleeper hit that has become one of my new favorite movies.
