The Maid (La nana - 2009)

This Chilean movie about an awkward live-in servant for a rich family (duh) in Santiago is neither farce nor thriller, but is amusing yet disturbing. Director/co-writer Sebastián Silva (it's his second project) apparently was inspired by his own upbringing with/by household help. Catalina Saavedra, in the title role, had me convinced she was her character Raquel (NO similarity to Raquel Welch). Well, there is nudity, both male and female. The actors, for the most part, have worked in TV more than movies in Chile. Though not recognized by Oscar, Silva and Saavedra will need new shelves for all their awards (they are what prompted me to see it without viewing a trailer). Mary Ellen was distressed by it, but Dan and I thought it had its hopeful side. It doesn't have a big story nor a big message, but I recommend it.
