Diary of a Chambermaid (1964)
The worldly Célestine (Jeanne Moreau) comes to a provincial French town to become a chambermaid at the Monteil estate. Her new employers are a collection of strange behaviors: Madame (Francoise Lugagne) is obsessed with cleanliness and order, the patriarch (Jean Ozenne) engages her in nightly shoe-fetish games; the husband (Michel Picoli) constantly tries to take advantage of the hired women, and the groundskeeper Joseph (Georges Géret) is a closet Fascist and molester of small girls. Célestine tries not to get involved in the petty relationships of the Monteils and their feuding neighbor, until the savage killing of a sweet local child steers her into an active role in finding the murderer.

This is only my second Bunuel film (The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie), and I am fascinated with the way he portrays the upper crust. here we have an odd family with some strange habits. Didn't you always think they were like that. It's the old joke about how you can determine class bu how two couples sit in a car....
