Celestine has a new job as a chambermaid for the quirky M. Monteil, his wife and her father. When the father dies, Celestine decides to quit her job and leave, but when a young girl is raped and murdered, Celestine believes that the Monteils' groundskeeper, Joseph, is guilty, and stays on in order to prove it. She uses her sexuality and the promise of marriage to get Joseph to confess -- but things do not go as planned.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly comic provocation that uses a chambermaid's investigation into a rural crime to expose the twisted sexual repressions and class hypocrisies lurking beneath provincial French respectability. Buñuel finds grotesque humor in the very places polite society insists on silence.
