You can stream La Cérémonie (1995) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

Sophie, a quiet and shy maid working for an upper-class French family, finds a friend in the energetic and uncompromising postmaster Jeanne, who encourages her to stand up against her bourgeois employers.

Class warfare transforms from quiet domestic tension into a sudden, jagged explosion of resentment. This psychological thriller trades slow-burn suspense for a visceral collision between a repressed maid and her radicalizing new friend.
