Buñuel's abandonment of absurd surreal reality makes the film even more obscure. Even with a realistic approach, the narrative is also different from classic Hollywood narratives or modern narratives, but it has a very alienating feeling. The maid is a mystery, her justice and unscrupulous efforts to squeeze into this class. The release of Joseph, the dark cloud at the end credits is the beginning of the disaster in Europe. Buñuel's scheduling is too subtle!
"The Handmaid's Diary" is not a typical Buñuel movie, without those surreal dreams, without the structure of the story, without strongly exaggerating the bad taste of the nobility, and without making fun of religion and the clergy, but it is still very good.
