I’m not really sure what to say or make of The Diary of a Chambermaid. What an utterly bizarre and strange movie this is. It seems to be stitched together from three disparate films and unleashed upon the world to confound it at every turn. Equal parts cynical treatise against opportunism, a frothy romance between a brooding rich man and a gold-digging maid, a melodrama about class warfare and i... read more

Description: Celestine, the chambermaid, has a new job in the country, at the Lanlaires. She has decided to use her beauty to seduce a wealthy man. But Mr Lanlaire is not a right choice: all the house is firmly controlled by Mme Lanlaire, helped by the strange valet Joseph. Then she tries the neighbour, ex-officer Mauger. This seems to work. But soon the son of the Lanlaires comes back. He is young, attractive, and does not share his mother's anti-republicans opinions. So Celestine's beauty attracts Captain Mauger, young Georges Lanlaire, and also Joseph. Three men, from three different social classes, with three different conceptions of lif ... (more)

"11.4. 2020 Renoir's vivid and distinctive aesthetics amaze me every time I watch one his films. You can't really compare him to anyone else and that's why he is so special. "The Diary of a Chambermaid" is a classic story told by several different directors. Buñuel's more serious version is masterful and impressive in its own way but Renoir takes a more comedic approach. The film undeniably reminds us some poignant truths regarding upper class lifestyle but not in a preachy way at all. Paulette"
