The Maid (PG)

Director: Sebastian Silva
Starring: Catalina Saavedra, Claudia Celadon, Mariana Loyala
Chile, 2008, 1 hour 35 mins, subtitles

Funny, tense, and unpredictable, this is the tale of the pig-headed Racquel, the maid-from-hell who has lived with the same family for 20 years. Her increasingly unreliable behaviour leads them to recruit a string of new servants to help her, but Racquel soon sees them off. Psychologically astute, The Maid slyly overturns our expectations as Racquel (a riveting performance by Saavedra) gradually emerges as a complex, sympathetic character.

“funny as Almodóvar, creepystrange as Bunuel, and with a hopeful, humane heart to boot”  Edinburgh International Film Festival
