The Housemaid Trailer.

indiewire.com says: “The Housemaid,” a remake of the 1960 Korean film of the same name, has been picked up for North American release by IFC Films. Billed as an “erotic thriller,” Im Sang-soo’s film made its world premiere in competition at Cannes this year.

The story focuses on Eun-yi, played by Jeon Do-yeon, who becomes involved in a destructive love triangle while working as a housemaid for an upper-class family.

what a freaking beautiful trailer though. sang-soo im directed the president's last bang (2005) which cause a lot controversy in korea centering around the assassination of president park chung-hee. In 2005, the Seoul Central Court ordered that 3 minutes and 50 seconds of documentary footage (mostly of demonstrations) be censored out of the film. In response, the director had the excised footage replaced with a blank screen for its running time. During its theatrical run, both nationally and internationally, only the censored version was shown.if you havent seen it, its definitely worth checking out.

the housemaid is going to be in theaters jan 21!!!! p.s. thats the most scandalous s.korean film poster ive ever laid my eyes on... *drooooolll..
