Korean director Im Sang-soo's modern adaptation of "The Housemaid" has been invited to this year's Chicago International Film Festival, according to the official website of the fest on Friday.
"Housemaid," about a young woman who is hired to work for a wealthy family and begins to have an affair with the man of the household, will be screened at the 46th Chicago film fest alongside other international movies from October 7 to 21.
The film has competed at the Cannes Film Festival in May and will be shown at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.
It is scheduled to be released in several major countries overseas including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and France in September as well as in the United States later this year.
The Chicago International Film Festival has been held every October since 1965, aiming to introduce Chicago and the world to new filmmakers, stories and movies. In 2003, they created the International Connections Program to appeal to various ethnicities and bring culture and diversity to the event.
