Being released by IFC Films, director Lim Sang-soo's "The Housemaid - 2010" will be in U.S. theaters Jan. 21 and on demand Jan. 26.Per IFC, the Korean film is "a stylish, sexy thriller about an innocent young woman caught in the twisted web of a rich family's games". It was shown in the official selection at the Cannes and Toronto film festivals in 2010.
Storyline provided on the distributor's website reads: Eun-yi (Cannes Best Actress winner Jeon Do-yeon of "Secret Sunshine") is hired as a nanny in an lavish mansion by businessman Hoon (Lee Jeong-jae) and his very pregnant wife, Hae-ra (Seo Woo). When Eun-yi is seduced by the father of the house, she becomes the unwitting victim in a series of traps laid by the women of the house-Hae-ra, her villainous mother (Park Ji-yeong), and their seemingly loyal but increasingly bitter housekeeper (Yoon Yeo-jeong). Intensely erotic and fiendishly entertaining, "The Housemaid - 2010" builds to an unforgettable climax as Eun-yi must outwit them and escape their schemes to protect her sanity-and her life-from the vicious family.

Date: 2011-01-12 05:44 am (UTC)But if you just watch the first half of the film and the skip the end, no it's a pretty decent film.
I would say watch it but beware of the wtfery and potential lawlz at the final half of the film.

Date: 2011-01-12 05:14 am (UTC)I remember sometime late last year I watched it, then I made an OT comment on OMONA about it.
Then
I was so disappoint, because I thought it would be like you said a ~erotic thriller~ in the same vein of "Penthouse Elephant"...boy was I wrong.
The old lady maid was fierce as fuck though..

Date: 2011-01-12 05:24 am (UTC)Anyway, not in the same sense. This film takes the original films name and general plot but goes completely left-wing with it.
And in some sense that could be a good thing, but this film goes to a place during the final act that no film should ever do.
I recommend if you watch the remake, watch the original also..it's worth it in that respect.

Date: 2011-01-12 05:30 am (UTC)It was better than I thought it would be, so I guess that might be why I like it.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

Date: 2011-01-12 05:46 am (UTC)It was pretty good, it starts off slow (very slow actually.) But it gets interesting later on.
Even though at the very end its wtf.
Both the orginal and the remark or wtf-worthy to some degree.
