<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n| 1964 (Re-released in 2025) – 97′ – Drama, Crime, Classic, Film & Literature An exquisitely enigmatic Jeanne Moreau (The Bride Wore Black) is the chambermaid C\u00e9lestine, who takes a position with a decadent family on a pre-WWII Normandy estate and finds herself in the middle of a hotbed of hypocrisy and perversion. The old man has a foot fetish, his daughter is a frigid hysteric, her husband a dissolute rake, the gamekeeper a racist and sadist, while the fascist neighbor compulsively throws his garbage on their property. When a child is raped and murdered, C\u00e9lestine becomes obsessed with discovering and exposing the killer, even though she finds herself attracted to him. Adapted from the Octave Mirbeau novel by cinema\u2019s grand surrealist and satirist of the bourgeoisie, Luis Bu\u00f1uel (Belle de Jour), Diary of a Chambermaid exerts a hypnotic fascination with the erotic while striking out against human hypocrisy and moral decay. Co-starring Michel Piccoli (Max and the Junkmen) and co-scripted by Bu\u00f1uel\u2019s frequent cohort, Jean-Claude Carri\u00e8re (The Milky Way).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID | 1964 (Re-released in 2025) – 97′ – Drama, Crime, Classic, Film & Literature Written by: Luis Bu\u00f1uel, Jean-Claude Carri\u00e8re.
