What Diary of a Chambermaid Is About

A woman who comes from Paris to a country house as a chambermaid discovers that every member of the household has a separate perversion, and learns to use what she observes. Luis Bunuel moves the story to the France of the thirties and puts the rising far right in the background, so private rot and public rot share a frame. Jeanne Moreau plays no innocence: this is a woman who calculates rather than suffers. The famous business with the boots describes an entire class through one detail.
