The Handmaiden will screen in the extended director's cut version and was proposed by our members Cathy Lee and Sofia Canhoto.

No Other Choice director Park Chan-wook turns to the past for a sensual, florid adaptation of Sarah Waters’ Fingersmith.

1930s Korea is under the control of the Japanese empire. Young maid Sookee is hired by Hideko, a reclusive heiress who lives in a sprawling mansion under the watchful eye of her domineering Uncle Kouzuki. But Sookee harbours a secret: she has been recruited by Fujiwara, a scheming con artist posing as a Japanese Count, to trick Hideko into entrusting him with her fortune. However, when Sookee and Hideko develop unexpected feelings for each other, more double-crossing comes into play.

Please note, the screening on Monday 9 February is our free members' screening, and booking for this will open on Thursday 5 February. The one on Tuesday 17 February is a regular screening, which is open to the general public.
