“The more I tried to give up thinking of her, the more I said to myself, ‘She’s nothing to you’, the harder I tried to pluck the idea of her out of my heart, the more she stayed there.”
The Handmaiden (2016) dir. Park Chan-wook

The daughter of a legendary thief, who sewed winter coats out of stolen purses. Herself a thief, pickpocket, swindler. My saviour who came to tear my life apart. My Tamako. My Sookhee.
