Movie Review

The Chambermaid on the Titanic (1998)

Details Rated: Unrated; Genres: Foreign Language, Historical, Romance

Despite its blatantly obvious raison d'etre, this contrived yet often lyrical romance — about a storytelling steelworker and the maritime maid he encounters in England — blossoms into a celebration of the imagination.
REEL GOODIES (1:35) Eternal indeed: Yet another knockoff of the From Here to Eternitysurfside embrace.
THE LAST DETAIL The Chambermaid on the Titanic won two Goyas (Spain's Oscars), but if you'd rather hear the lovely Sanchez-Gijon speak English, she strolls next to Keanu Reeves in 1995's A Walk in the Clouds.
