An aesthetically delightful remake of Im Sang-soo's 1960 classic about a maid who violently shakes up a posh family. Seductive cinema of the addictive kind.
A man's affair with his family's housemaid leads to dark consequences.
"The film abounds with references to the original's famous cinematic tropes, but without the same impact as social and psychological signifiers. Instead, Im expresses danger and discord through an alternative mise en scene with ravishing colour contrasts and palatial interiors whose harmony is deliberately disrupted by murals of severe lines or cubic shapes." - The Hollywood Reporter
