2013/14 Season

THE MAID

Chile/Mexico 2009 (15) 95 minutes Directed by Sebastián Silva

Ipswich Film Theatre - 10 February 2014 - 7.30pm Having spent twenty years of her life serving the same Chilean family, Mexican Raquel reaches a crisis in her life when her well-meaning employer hires extra help for her. This brilliantly acted film teases out the social complexities of the employer-servant relationship. AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Unusual, interesting and rather touching; Beautifully acted. It’s all in her smile or lack of; Modest film but some good moments. ‘Comedy’ was a slight overstatement; What was it about, please?
