Event Description

Chilean director Sebastian Silva’s excellent film starts its run at the Music Box this Friday. A complex and beautifully executed look at a territorial live-in maid in Santiago, The Maid took home both the Grand and Special Jury prizes at Sundance.

“THE MAID (LA NANA) is the story of Raquel (Catalina Saavedra) who has served as the maid for the Valdes family for 23 years. Neither truly a member of the family nor simply a servant, she inhabits a vague space somewhere in between. Threatened when the family decides to bring on extra help, Raquel engages in a series of increasingly desperate acts to hold on to her position in this insightful comedic drama about family, class, and self-discovery.”
