The Handmaiden is Gothic Horror writ Bizarre

A narrative like a Russian doll.

Deep, shadowy visuals.

Victorian/Japanese aesthetic, like a Gothic horror writ anime.

Slow-building characters, highly bizarre in their predilections, unencumbered by inhibitions.

Tensely erotic, alternating between the intellectual and the physical, the theatrical and the comical, the violent and the sensual.

Imaginative / Unforgettable.
