"A riveting re-telling of the most sensational French crime of the 20th century!" - J. Hoberman, Village Voice
Class struggle, incest and murder are at the heart of France's most horrific crime of the 20th century. In Murderous Maids, director Jean-Pierre Denis paints a provocative portrait of the notorious Papin sisters that is sympathetic yet unapologetic. The sisters, Christine and Lea, are forced into servitude by their self-absorbed mother and become increasingly outraged by the injustice of their position. The sisters find solace in each other, and their relationship becomes all-consuming. When their secret is threatened, they lash out.
