The Housemaid (2011)

Tense and sad story of a lower-class and slightly simple girl being hired as a nanny/servant. She finds herself in the new world of a very rich young couple and getting drawn into the ugliness of their lives despite herself. Her fellow servant, a supposed ally, is both untrustworthy and an incredibly sympathetic character.

I had NO idea of how to interpret the last shot of the film (starting at 3:50 in the embedded vid below), which is a stand-alone art piece type of thing -- kind of like the final scene in Places in the Heart where everyone, dead alive and moved-on, partakes in a church communion. Why they gotta go and fuck wit my brain even more?
