DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID. Director Luis Buňuel (Viridiana) mitigates the imperfections of his corrosive satire with some artistry-and with Jeanne Moreau, who is cast as the Parisian servant girl in a rural landscape teeming with sadism, fetishism, frigidity, rape and murder...

Miraculously, Actress Moreau performs a contradictory role with an air of wry and knowing detachment, as if she were privy to soul-deep secrets that even the best directors can only guess...
