The Chambermaid

Veteran Spanish writer and director Bigas Luna delivered one of his best films with this period drama. A French working class man wins a trip to England to watch the sailing of Titanic where he briefly meets a chambermaid of the ship. Upon his return he weaves tall tales that spreads through the town much to the dismay of his wife. Luna and his co-writers deliver a brilliant story that goes beyond cinema about the power of art, cinema and storytelling that captured the human imagination since the beginning of time. The stellar cast includes Olivier Martinez, Romane Bohringer and Aitana Sánchez-Gijón as the central characters in this romantic drama. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
