We are often the "invisible people" of the office world, the servants of this techno obsessed world to whom the dull tasks are relegated. You easily can draw analogies between office workers who "go postal" to these tales of murderous servants who have done in their employers.<br /><br />The story of those French maids intrigued a lot of people for many many years. It's been dramatized and filmed several times - the first time by Genet and I still think it's the best. Each time getting more and more lurid with a lot of lesbian "eroticism" thrown into the story to titillate that crowd. But now compared to the horrors of spree killing and cannibalistic serial killers it seems almost tame to me.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-18290696331347297042012-08-22T09:26:16.232+01:002012-08-22T09:26:16.232+01:00Intriguing, indeed.
