The Housemaid

(1960)Directed by Kim Ki-young112 minCrime, Drama
“Do you have mine too?”

Nobody can say why the new housemaid, Oh Myeong-sook (Lee Eun-shim), makes the house feel smaller the longer she stays. Kim Dong-sik (Kim Jin-kyu), a piano composer, hired her when his pregnant wife (Ju Jeung-nyeo) collapsed from working to keep the family afloat. Kim Ki-young keeps the camera inside those rooms, and the stairs run between the floors like a narrow throat.
