Faye Dunaway leads a star-studded cast in this adaption of Margaret Atwood’s futuristic tale of forced maternal surrogacy., Harold Pinter’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s novel about a servant (Natasha Richardson) in a futuristic, male-dominated society. Robert Duvall, Faye Dunaway. Nick: Aidan Quinn. Moira: Elizabeth McGovern. Aunt Lydia: Victoria Tennant. Ofglen: Blanche Baker. Ofwarren/Janine: Traci Lind. Directed by Volker Schlondorff., Volker Schöndorff’s film version of Margaret Atwood’s award-winning novel about a dystopic future America where Natasha Richardson is trained as a Handmaiden in order to bear children for upper class women rendered sterile by pollution., Chilling adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s novel set in the not-so-distant future where society is ruled by right-wing fundamentalists., Margaret Atwood’s vision of a fundamentalist Christian dystopia is grimly fascinating, but much less trenchant than it might have been. It takes place in a future where pollution has rendered 99 per cent of the women in the U.S. infertile. The country is ruled by a fundamentalist Christian dictatorship, which has sequestered all fertile women to serve as breeders for sufficiently wealthy families. Made slightly after the heyday of the Christian right, the film clearly intended to do for that movement what Orwell did for Communism in 1984 — to envision the consequences of its ideology. But, the film’s imagination is limited, and concentrating as much as it does on the mandated child-bearing relationship of Robert Duvall, Natasha Richardson, and Faye Dunaway, it seems less a satire of a madly conservative theocracy than the more banal story of a maid trying to avoid her boss’ advances. Schlondorff does little to enhance the film’s apocalyptic intentions, shooting and framing much of it like a gothic romance gone awry. Duvall and Dunaway are as effective as they can be within the ritualized framework of their characters, but Richardon is strangely pallid as an ostensible rebel. Elizabeth McGovern has the best of it as a free-spirited “gender traitor” or gay woman, and her few scenes come as a welcome relief., Following a coup, America is a country still at war with itself and ruled by a repressive Bible-inspired regime. Past pollution means only 1% of women can bear children, and female criminals found to be potential mothers are put into an institution run by ‘Aunt Lydia’ to be indoctrinated. One such is Kate, who then seduces Fred, a higher-up in the security forces, to attempt to procreate. Fred’s wife Serena, is jealous and vicious, and the State’s grip seems to be tightening. But Kate still has her own mind, and is finding that some other people are prepared to resist.
