In a dystopian future, a totalitarian regime has taken control, subjugating women and stripping them of their rights. The story follows a woman forced into servitude as a “handmaid,” whose sole purpose is to bear children for the ruling class. Natasha Richardson delivers a compelling performance, supported by a strong cast including Faye Dunaway and Robert Duvall. Directed by Volker Schlöndorff, the film explores themes of power, control, and resistance. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
