Diary Of A Chambermaid (1964 Film)
''Diary of a Chambermaid'' (french: Le journal d'une femme de chambre, it, Il diario di una cameriera) is a 1964 French–Italian drama film directed by Spanish-born filmmaker Luis Buñuel and starring Jeanne Moreau as a Parisian chambermaid who uses her body and wiles to navigate the perversion, corruption, and violence she encounters at the provincial estate where she goes to work. Though highly satirical and reflective of his typical anti-bourgeois sentiments, it is one of Buñuel's more realistic films, and generally avoids the outlandish surrealist imagery and far-fetched plot twists found in many of his other works. The film was the first screenwriting collaboration between Buñuel and Jean-Claude Carrière, who extensively reworked the 1900 novel of the same name by Octave Mirbeau. Buñuel and Carrière would go on to collaborate on '' Belle de Jour'' (1967), '' The Milky Way (1969)'', ''The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie'' (1972), ''The Phantom of Liberty'' (1974) an ...
