I don't have an ear for variants of Spanish language.
Is the Spanish spoken in the movie Castilian/European Spanish, or Mexican Spanish?
Are there class distinctions evident in the accents or wording used by the servants and the upper-class party-goers?
Somebody better answer this; I wanna know, too.

Hi there,
the languaje is Mexican Spanish, but not the one you listen to in the streets. It's a bit overacted, too formal, too dramatic, a tad close to that of certain dramas or even soap operas -of the time being-.
We Mexicans, regardless of social status, spice the speech up with no little amount of harmless cursing and insulting, totally absent in the movie, in fact probably in Mexican movies and TV until fairly recent times.
Yes, there are slight class distinctions between the servants and the guests/owners, but not in every case. Some guests' accent could sound less educated, and the servants accent in reality should have been more noticeable. The butler speaks with an educated accent but a high end servant languaje.
Not just an answer, but such a thorough one! I really appreciate it, Manolescu. Thank you.
shareIt was shot in Mexico.. so I'd say Mexican-style-spanish?
