24. The Handmaiden (2016)

Surprisingly Criterion - the podcast where we select and talk about the films that we're surprised are a part of the Criterion Collection, and the films we can't believe are not!
The Criterion Collection brands itself as a depository of important classic and contemporary films for film aficionados. Their collection features over a 1000 movies and counting! Surely all of these can't be important, can they? What does 'important' even mean!
