From France’s most daring and inventive writer/director Francois Ozon, 8 Women, an adventurous, comic murder mystery, joins together an all-star lineup of French cinema’s top actresses. It’s an isolated mansion in the snowy countryside of 1950 where a family is reuniting for a holiday turned to murder. Mamy (Danielle Darieux) is the grandmother, Gaby (Catherine Deneuve) is her daughter and the lady of the house. The rest of the family includes two daughters, two maids, a wayward sister in law and a weird Aunt to equal eight woman, one home and one murder of the man of the house. The women have a certain je ne sais quoi until naughty secrets are revealed under pressure in ‘who done it’ fashion. And the female psyche is a whole ‘nother story. The most interesting and kooky observation is while a man who was daddy, husband, son and lover to all these women is suddenly dead, they take it rather calmly parading around the home. The smart, silly, original little French (sub-titled) musical would make a great femme fatale style “And Then There Were None” on Broadway.
