THE HOUSEMAID (HANYO,Coreia, 2010) - This movie is a remake from a film of the same name released back in 1960, with some different aspects in the script. In the new version, the sexually predatory femme fatale has become a poor and naive girl that gets seduced by an arrogant, cold and pitiless rich man (Lee Jung-jae, the leading actor in ROUND 6). When she gets pregnant, the host family wants to get rid of her. It is inevitable to be reminded of Nelson Rodrigues’ works, especially if you consider the revengeful purposes of the main character. Not the best product of the Korean cinema.
