Journal d'une femme de chambre

04:02:00

Have you ever wondered about the quality of your job, about the people with whom you're working with, your superiors and inferiors and how the modern way of work changed from the one in the past? Do you appreciate your shiny skyscraper building offices with nice views and coffee machines? Do you like your health insurance and holiday leave? For me, this film is not only a postcard of everyday life from the past. It's the epitome of how difficult the life of a working woman without money or connections would be. How much she would have to suffer and sustain to make her living. And considering this, if I had been born a hundred years ago my (and many other young women at the moment) would have had a very similar life story. Not a Jane Eyre fairy happy ending, I suppose.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
