Quick Answer

What is Celestine about?

Celestine is a 1974 French comedy film directed by Jesús Franco about a brothel maid who escapes arrest and, upon hiding out in a countryside estate, transforms the lives of its repressed inhabitants with her uninhibited sexuality.

Programmer's Pick

Only Jesús Franco could turn a brothel escape into a study of sexual liberation and bourgeois upheaval. Lina Romay’s Celestine isn’t just the help—she’s a catalyst for chaos, comedy, and a whole lot of nudity.
