Eddie Redmayne stars in Warner Bros. Pictures' FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM

Kim Tae-ri and Kim Min-hee star in Magnolia's THE HADNMAIDEN

Deception is common in film. It’s always been something that could drive a story while easily maintaining its ability to stay relevant and consistent. If done correctly, deception can fit any genre and any category that you can think of. That’s why movies such as The Handmaiden are appealing to many around the world. There’s the promise of not only …
