Review of The Maids (1975) by Gregory W — 31 Oct 2009
When Susannah York and Glenda Jackson let rip as two maids, engaged by a wealthy woman in a luxurious Parisien appartment, boy do they let rip. Based on a play by Genet, the sisters act out their sadistic fantasies, each taking it in turn to be the "Madam" whilst the other plays her "maid".
Produced by The American Film Theatre it reproduced the stage version that starred both York and Jackson, except in the film they didnt have to walk on a floor of stretched bouncy canvas. If you are fine of Jackson or York you will love it.
If you are a fan of Jean Genet its a must.
