October 24, 2016 at 10:10 AM The Korean phrase for “male gaze” is “male gaze,” I learned earlier this month during an hourlong conversation with Korean master director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Lady Vengeance). We were discussing his sumptuous new movie, The Handmaiden, an adaptation of Sarah Waters’s beloved 2002 novel Fingersmith. Park retains much of Waters’s twistier-than-a-Brooklyn-mustache plot, but supplants the action from Victorian England to 1930s Korea, during Japan’s occupation. The story follows young pickpocket ...
