"The Maid": A Surprizing New Movie From Chile.

LATIMES/
"The phenomena of living with a maid is something I went through during my childhood and adolescence," says 30-year-old director Sebastien Silva of Santiago, Chile. "It wasn't comfortable at all. You already have a mother and father, so you don't want a third figure bossing you around. Then when you are more mature you realize that her situation is quite sad."
The movie won the 2009 Sundance Film Festival's World Cinema Jury Prize Dramatic and Special Jury Prize for Acting.
