Sinopsis(1)

Adapted from the classic novel by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized 'return to traditional values'. As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred (Elisabeth Moss) is a Handmaid in the Commander's household, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her.

The Handmaid's Tale (2017) 

inglés When a hot dinner, a cold bottle, and an ironed shirt cease to be a daily staple because the baby's cries and used diapers begin to dwindle suspiciously, it is necessary to reach for the time-tested collection of the Old Testament and gut out a few apocrypha that did not bend so efficiently even in the days of the Inquisition. I don't fully understand the criticism that is being leveled at it, especially from the right. The female quintet behind the camera is very down-to-earth and sensitive. In fact, the social apocalypse is an almost intimate affair, with events happening in passing and the viewer praying to see more, but fearing that on a more global scale, it will fall apart. From my perspective, though, it takes the incredible internal dynamic from the fact that no other dystopia I can remember has gone so much to the root of the hypocrisy that automatically accompanies all totalitarian systems. It bubbles under the surface perfectly, but Jezebel’s visit definitely pushes it to a genre event that imagines the apocalypse without nuclear fallout. ()
