Abstract

The Handmaiden is an exotic-thriller film by Park Chan-wook which tells the story of Korean people who disguise themselves to deceive Japanese nobles. In the storyline regarding the fraud, there is a storyline that involves the issue of social class being an important thing in it. A social class is a group of people divided based on education, occupation, property ownership, and lifestyle. The purpose of this research is to show how social class is visualized in The Handmaiden film. The type of research used is qualitative research using Roland Barthes semiotic analysis method in film cinematography. The research focuses on how upper and lower social classes are visualized. The results show that the visualization of social classes is divided into 3 (three) categories. The first is visualisation of the upper social class who have power and lifestyle through clothing. Second, the visualisation of the lower social class that is highlighted very small in cinematography so that it represent the character as powerless or weak. Third, the representation of the lower social class that fights back by destroying the barrier between classes to save one of the upper-class characters.
