For the finale of this month's season, we're showing arthouse classic The Handmaiden (2016), Korean master Park Chan-wook's twisty Erotic Thriller that adapts Patricia Highsmith's novel Fingersmith from its setting of Victorian London to Japanese-occupied Korea.
Chan-wook (Oldboy, Decision To Leave) beautifully crafts a tale of desire and double-crossing following a young woman involved in a plot to defraud the Japanese heiress she's employed as a maid to.
It's an essential by a director at the height of his powers, and you'll quickly see why it debuted to huge acclaim.
Join us downstairs at Dalston Superstore for June's crescendo.
