The film"s page
Sophie est engagée en tant que bonne dans une famille bourgeoise de province. Bien qu’interloqués par le comportement fruste et asocial de la jeune femme, les maîtres de maison ne trouvent rien à reprocher à son service parfait. La jeune domestique va peu à peu se lier d'amitié avec Jeanne, l’exubérante postière du village.
Notes : La Cérémonie est une adaptation du roman L'Analphabète (A Judgement in Stone) de l’écrivaine britannique Ruth Rendell, publié en 1978. Comme le livre dont il est issu, le film s’inspire librement du célèbre fait divers qui vit les sœurs Papin assassiner leurs patronnes, ainsi que de la pièce de théatre de Jean Genet, Les Bonnes, publié en 1947.
