About the film
La Cérémonie (English: lit. The Ceremony also known as A Judgment in Stone) is a 1995 French psychological thriller film by written and directed by Claude Chabrol. Starring Isabelle Huppert and Sandrine Bonnaire and adapted from the 1977 novel A Judgement in Stone by British writer Ruth Rendell. The story follows Sophie, a woman hired to work as a maid for the rich Lelièvre family, in the French countryside. There, she befriends Jeanne, the local postmistress, but soon, their friendship starts taking an increasingly dark turn. The film echoes the true case of Christine and Léa Papin, two French maids who brutally murdered their employer's wife and daughter in 1933, as well as the 1947 play they inspired, The Maids by Jean Genet.
