A screening of the South Korean film The Housemaid, made in 1960 by director Kim Ki-young and starring Lee Eun-shim. The routine domestic life of a middle-class family is turned upside-down after a young woman joins the household to help with the chores—though what she does instead is turn the house into a boiling cauldron of lust. A mélange of melodrama, morality tale, noir thriller, and horror film that comes together to exercise a vice-like grip. The film was restored by the Korean Film Archive and Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project and is widely regarded as one of the country's greatest films.
