Tensionless sex.

While The Housemaid starts strongly as a kind of thriller about a new maid of a young and rich couple, things quickly degenerate into a psychological drama with erotic edges. As far as the latter is concerned, it is mainly a suggestion, but it gives a strange but welcome flavor to this remake of the 1960 film. Also from South Korea. However, the sex gives way to a lot of misery as the story, somewhat predictably, begins to unfold.

And the fact that you can see where this is going from miles away without ever seeing the original doesn't add to any tension. Because the explicit scenes are actually a bit over, it remains a bit boring to wait and see how things take shape. The last half hour in an almost American way, where you can already see Michael Douglas passing by. If the director then loses himself during the theatrical finale, that is a double shame.

Reasonable.

Thanks to Filmfreak for the review copy.

Excellent psychological thriller with the necessary eroticism, which I think is clearly inspired by films by Hitchcock (Rebecca). Especially the role of Yeo-jeong Yoon as the grumpy housekeeper made me think of similar roles by Judith Anderson.

The surreal final scene, in my opinion, unfortunately destroyed this exciting, exciting film.

I am more positively inclined than negatively towards the film. Not that I just loved everything, but I find this relationship between conceited super-rich families and their servants very intriguing. Pathetic and disrespectful even at times when the service staff is no more than a modern slave who is often completely ignored and rarely if ever belongs to the family. For example, it is always striking that on one or other outing (a walk, for example) the service personnel walks 5 meters behind and usually carries a few things with them.

Furthermore, technically a great film with a number of beautifully filmed scenes, not in the least the erotic scenes. I was also interested in the role of the older maid. On the one hand she gives her employers, but on the other hand she finds herself in some loyal discord and especially at first she doesn't think much of Eun-yi.

Not every decision was a good one. The suddenly more present (in-law) mother was a bit exaggerated and did not benefit the story. And the drastic ending also had something "just over the top". Otherwise quite enjoyable and good movie.
