Episode 003 - Are You Watching Carefully? The Handmaiden's Trick Ending

Shell Shock Podcast

The movie "The Handmaiden" weaves a deeply intriguing tale about women trying to liberate themselves from a world(view) created and enforced by men, but is it entirely successful in its premise? The movie's final act recedes from the female perspective, and even resolves with a sex scene that is arguably seen from a 'male' lens. Did the movie come up short, or is it all according to plan? What if there's more going on? Join us as we unwrap and expose the ending's secrets! Shout out to Innuendo Studios for putting the movie on our radar, and putting us on the trail of questioning the ending.
