Diary of a Chambermaid is a 1964
drama film directed by
Spanish-born filmmaker
Luis Buñuel and starring
Jeanne Moreau as a Parisian
chambermaid who uses her body and wiles to navigate the perversion, corruption, and violence she encounters at the provincial estate where she goes to work. Though highly satirical and reflective of his typical anti-
bourgeois sentiments, it is one of Buñuel’s more realistic films, and generally avoids the outlandish
surrealist imagery and far-fetched plot twists found in many of his other works.
Julian Palka (1923-2002) was a Polish artist who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw at the Graphic Design Faculty under
Józef Mroszczak and Painting Faculty under Jan Cybis from 1945 to 1951. He mainly designed posters, creating around 100 posters and the same number of exhibition, museum, and event projects, for example, for Polish pavilions in Beijing (1953), Damascus (1954), Casablanca (1955), Milan and Barcelona (1960), Turin (1961), Leipzig (1959, 1964), Moscow (1965, 1969, 1974), Thessaloniki (1969), and for the Poznań expo. Apart from that, he did book graphic design and typography, spatial design (memorials), film (graphic design for Ludwik Perski’s documentary On Warsaw, but in a Different Way, 1960), and theatre (scenography for Leon Kruczkowski’s The First day of Freedom directed by Tadeusz Łomnicki, 1976).
