Film - The Maid

A family’s long-serving and diligent maid evidently resents attempts to integrate her more into household celebrations, and actively resists the introduction of some assistance when her health begins to suffer.

‘An exceptional study of the emotional investment that domestics make in the families they serve … Saavedra is mesmerising as she shifts from subservient to scheming, with Silva’s delicate touch ensuring that she remains sympathetic.’ – David Parkinson, Radio Times Guide to Films

Film - L'Eclisse

An enquiring young woman changes lovers, from writer to stockbroker. But an underlying lack of engagement is emphasised by the brutalist architecture of the setting in a Fascist Roman suburb, itself a major element of the film.
