08/03/2017 The Chambermaid on the Titanic is a pretentious French art film that explores the power of storytelling. When a factory worker named Horty wins a ticket to go see the launching of the new luxury liner RMS Titanic, he returns with a tantalizing tale of a night that he spent with one of the ship's chambermaids, and with each telling the tale grows, attracting more and more people to come hear his stories. Olivier Martinez and Aitana Sanchez-Gijon give fairly strong performances and have impressive on-screen chemistry. However, the script (particularly the dialog) is poorly written. And the director doesn't do a very good job at selling the romanticism and passion of Horty's storytelling. Additionally, a lot of the satire and humor falls flat, and the special effects are horrendous (especially the Titanic models and graphics). Incredibly disappointing, The Chambermaid on the Titanic lacks focus and doesn't know what kind of film it wants to be.

Olivier Martinez and Altana Sachez-Gijon shine and their made up story seems magical, but , as always, reality intrudes. An interesting contrast to the slick Hollywood stories of the fatal voyage of the doomed ship, and one that shows the continuing fascination with this theme..

Well I've really only seen 2 of them and those 2 you definitely couldn't watch with your mom. Unfortunately, this is also a little on the boring side. So, the lesson is that you sometimes shouldn't waste time watching stuff you can watch with your mom.
