Scene of the maid sobbing
For me one of the most intense scenes was the scene at the end of the maid crying her heart out. (Not sure what the official term is for her job, so I am calling her the maid.)
Any thoughts on why the filmmakers focused so much on that scene? Up until that point, the maid had seemed a fairly incidental character. (Or maybe I should say that until that point the character had seemed to be there just for atmospherics rather than to advance the story.)
