This wicked adaptation of the Octave Mirbeau novel is classic Luis Buñuel. Jeanne Moreau is Celestine, a beautiful Parisian domestic who, upon
arrival at her new job at an estate in provincial 1930s France, entrenches
herself in sexual hypocrisy and scandal with her philandering employer (Michel Piccoli). Filmed in luxurious
black-and-white Franscope, Diary of a Chambermaid is a raw-edged
tangle of fetishism and murder—and a scathing look at the burgeoning French
fascism of the era. (1964, 98 mins)
