About La Cérémonie
Sophie, a quiet and shy maid working for an upper-class French family, finds a friend in the energetic and uncompromising postmaster Jeanne, who encourages her to stand up against her bourgeois employers.
Directed by Claude Chabrol, La Cérémonie leans on a strong ensemble — Sandrine Bonnaire, Isabelle Huppert, Jean-Pierre Cassel — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1995.
