Beautiful Florence Guerin in Complicated, Perverse Role

Original Italian title: LA BONNE [The Maid]

director: Salvatore Samperi
starring: Florence Guerin · Katrine Michelsen · Cyrus Elias · Benito Artesi · Ida Eccher · Rita Savagnone

Shot in her prime, Florence Guerin is absolutely stunning in this perverse story from director Samperi. She plays Anna, a conservative housewife [circa 1945] who is having a difficult time dealing with lack of affection shown by her older, lawyer husband. Soon Anna is seduced and corrupted by the promiscuous maid, Angela. The two enter an unusual lesbian relationship but Anna has learned her perverse lessons well. She soon turns the tables on Angela and introduces the maid into a realm of extreme corruption.

Salvatore Samperi is probably best known for writing and directing Laura Antonelli in her superb breakout film, Malicious (1973). He helmed preciously few projects and turned to television production after LA BONNE. His L'Onore e il Rispetto [Onore and the Honor] began as a mini-series in 2006 but its popularity accounted for five more seasons. Mr Samperi was not able to see his series reach the pinnacle as he died from a heart attack in March 2009 at age 64.
