    About this product

    Product Information

    Based on Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel, THE HANDMAID'S TALE presents a harrowing vision of (as the film's opening legend reads) "the very near future." In Gilead, formerly the United States, a series of ecological disasters rendering most women infertile has been followed by a coup d'état by puritanical right-wing fundamentalists. Attempting to escape the increasingly unjust and brutal oligarchy, Kate (Natasha Richardson) is captured by border guards while her husband is killed and her daughter lost. Because she is fertile, Kate is sent for training as a handmaid, where she meets the defiant Moira (Elizabeth McGovern). Kate then becomes handmaid to the Commander (Robert Duvall) and is forced to enact a ceremony, based on the biblical story of Rachel, in which she lies between the Commander and his infertile wife, Serena Joy (Faye Dunaway), so he can impregnate her. The ceremony leaves Serena Joy angry, the Commander unfulfilled, and Kate humiliated, rebellious, and desperate for freedom. The splendid performance of the ensemble cast is highlighted by McGovern's wrenching turn as the disaffected "gender traitor." Celebrated playwright Harold Pinter supplies a stark, affecting screenplay for director Volker Schlöndorff (THE TIN DRUM), who retains all the sting of Atwood's feminist classic by sculpting a frighteningly plausible futuristic parable.

        The Handmaid's Tale

        This movie is hard to find as a rental, and it's a little on the expensive side to buy it. Not sure it's worth the money. The concept is interesting and the casting was great. (Many “A” list actors). The story is about a society where healthy young women (Handmaids) are forced to serve as surrogate's for producing children, as environmental factors caused many women to become infertile. They, along with any non-white people, are gathered up and forced into servitude or shipped off to the colonies.

        Someone needs to look into these two orders.

        I didn’t receive “The Handmaids Tale” with Natasha Richardson, Faye Dunaway yet, so I can’t tell you weather it is good or bad.I am wondering when it will arrive? Please let me know. Thank you. I also bought The Hands Maid Tale season 3 which I received but it looks like someone has copied the tv show and made a poor job of it. I can’t select one episode at the time to watch. It just plays them all and the special features are missing but they are listed on the paper attached to the DVD. Please look into these two problems for me. My number is 403-932-3275. Beata Glass

      • Wonderful Title

      • Well done, with a few exceptions

        Good movie, although it does take several liberties with the original Margaret Atwood novel. As with most movies, the book is far better, but they did an adequate job with this one. Worth the money and was thankful to find a copy still sealed up.

      • Rushing me

        Haven't had time to watch, but with that many all time great actors, I can't go wrong.
