i've heard there's been a lot of changes but, rewatching the handmaiden (2016) after finishing this book will be great

i will lock in to the british adaptation one day then. i watched the handmaiden a long time ago and of everything in it, only kinda remember the sex scene with the balls 😭😭😭 it's so critically-acclaimed that i wanted to rewatch tho but, i've heard a lot about the male gaze thing.

those sex scenes were so cringe omg. lesbian movies should never be directed by men period.
btw the british series was directed by a woman. so ya know its superior.

totally agree! let me rewatch and give a verdict about the sex scenes. my queer friend watched it this year and she was talking about how all of it seemed really much like the male gaze but, a straight guy ik loves it 😬 your point may be proven just with that...
