This wicked adaption of the Octave Mirbeau novel is classic Luis Buñuel. Jeanne Moreau is Celestine, a beautiful Parisian domestic who, upon arrival at her new job in provincial 1930s France, entrenches herself in sexual hypocrisy and scandal with Buñuel regulars Michel Piccoli (as a philandering husband) and Muni (as his l'amour fou).
