It is weird. They are meant to be sisters and speak with such different accents. Huppert acts the role superbly but it would have been so much better if it were someone like Judy Davis, who could conceivably be Cate's older sister and speak English with the same accent. However, don't let this put you off seeing this amazing production.

I'm glad I went. But, yes, if I could have understood that 10 min monologue of Ms. Huppert at the end I would have gotten a lot more out of the production. I really didn't mind her interpretation which was well done and very witty, and I wasn't bothered by her accent until the conclusion. I really liked the actress who played the Mistress.

Thanks for the information. I was able to take out the 1974 DVD of "The Maids" with Glenda Jackson from the library.

Now I will be very sure to watch it at least once.
