The Housemaid (1960)
Acclaimed and eccentric South Korean genre director Kim Ki-young came into the ’60s swinging. “The Housemaid” is a perverse, disquieting and scintillating tale of love curdling into obsession curdling into… well, we don’t want to spoil anything. Suffice it to say that Ki-young’s film leaves no twist unturned. If you dig it, check out the other two entries in Ki-young’s “Housemaid” trilogy, “Woman of Fire,” and “Woman of Fire ’82.”
