The Handmaiden: resolve the 2016 Korean feature and cut

The Handmaiden is Park Chan-wook’s 2016 Korean feature, structured through shifting viewpoints around deception, intimacy, class, and colonial power. Its reversals depend on perspective, so descriptions should preserve the discovery rather than inventory every turn.

Use year, director, Korean original language, and feature format to distinguish the record. Provider cuts and running times may differ; also verify subtitle translation, audio, explicit-content guidance, aspect ratio, and resolution.
