After showing his decisive films at Locarno, the Berlinale, and
Toronto, Radu Jude has now made the leap to Cannes. Here the
Romanian director once again proves his knack for scathing social
satire with The Diary of a Chambermaid. Loosely based on Octave
Mirbeau’s famed novel, the biting comedy screening in the
Directors’ Fortnight highlights the struggles of a Romanian
domestic help and the exploitative economic power structures of the
EU’s globalized job market. On site in Cannes, Radu Jude discusses
his personal experiences shaping the story, using non-traditional
techniques to create his films, his shifting focus on classic
sources, and more.
