YesAsia Editorial Description
From French director Francois Ozon, 8 WOMEN is a character drama and musical set in a country home during Christmastime in the 1950s. Though the atmosphere seems light and festive, when the host, Marcel, is stabbed in the back, one of the eight women in the house must be the culprit. The youngest of the bunch, Catherine (Ludivine Sagnier), is a teenager who loved her Daddy and also loves police novels. Her sister, Suzon (Virginie Ledoyen), is a student in England who has traveled home for the holiday. Their mom is Gaby (Catherine Deneuve), the ungrieving wife of Marcel, who never reveals too much. Grandma, who goes by Mamie (Danielle Darrieux), is an alcoholic who reveals that she's not as innocent as she looks when she walks right out of her wheelchair. Marcel's sister, Pierrette (Fanny Ardant) arrives mysteriously just after the murder. The maids, Louise (Emmanuelle Beart) and Chanel (Firmine Richard), are obviously up to no good as their stories keep changing. And the neurotic and hilarious Augustine (Isabelle Huppert), Gaby's sister, is the aging virgin who is just plain unstable. As each of these women interrogate each other, each singing her own song as a type of encrypted confession, there are some very funny moments. 8 WOMEN unfolds like a demented CLUE, with absurd tidbits of information--Chanel is actually an exotic dancer; Gaby and Louise are lesbian lovers--coming straight from Ozon's quirky sense of humor. A magnificent set, a snowy backdrop, and candy colored costumes complete this wacky tongue-in-cheek affair.
"...8 WOMEN enjoins eight of France's finest actresses in a giddily amusing Agatha Christie-style whodunit....Fun..."
- Wade, Major (Box Office Critic), Box Office, 09/01/2002
"...Cineasts and worshippers of les femmes at their most fatales will find this farce wonderfully fierce..."
- Glenn, Kenny (Premiere/Entertainment Weekly Critic), Premiere, 10/01/2002
"...Both camp and true, a warped adoration of star-quality actresses as amazing creatures who can project the lives of fictional characters as well as the essence of their own fabulous selves..."
- Lisa, Schwarzbaum (Entertainment Weekly Critic), Entertainment Weekly, 10/11/2002
"...All eight women are something to see and marvel at. Whatever you call this one-of-a-kind bonbon spiked with wit and malice, it's classic oo-la-la?"
- Peter, Travers (Rolling Stone Critic), Rolling Stone, 10/17/2002
"...8 WOMEN is a feast. Each performance is beautifully controlled, notably Huppert's devastating comic turn..."
- Ginette, Vincendeau (Sight And Sound Critic), Sight and Sound, 12/01/2002
