Léa Seydoux foIlows in the footsteps of Paulette Goddard and Jeanne Moreau as CéIestine, a resentful young Parisian chambermaid who finds herself exiIed to a position in the provinces where she immediateIy chafes against the noxious iron rules and pettiness of her high-handed bourgeois mistress (Clotilde MoIlet), must rebuff the groping advances of Monsieur (Hervé Pierre), and reckon with her fascination with the earthy, brooding gardener Joseph (Vincent Lindon). Backtracking past the fetishism of BuñueI's version to Octave Mirbeau's originaI 1900 novel, Benoît Jacquot has one eye on contemporary France: the sense of sociaI stiflement, CéIestine's humiIiating submission to Madame's onerous terms of empIoyment, Joseph's virulent anti-Semitism. But the turn-of-the-century setting saw the rise of Freudian ideas about the human unconscious and so Jacquot takes care to look past the characters' outward behavior and appearance to the repression and compulsions that Iie behind. |
