Product Description

Chronique Amazon.fr

En province, c'est le moment de fêter Noël dans une famille bourgeoise principalement composée de femmes. Seul le père, resté tard au lit, paraît mettre du temps à s'immiscer dans les retrouvailles. Normal. Sa propre fille le découvre poignardé dans sa chambre. Les harpies se retrouvent entre elles avec, sur les lèvres, cette question commune : qui est l'assassin ? On savait le mépris qu'entretenait François Ozon pour la cellule familiale depuis son déroutant Sitcom. Là, il enfonce le clou en réunissant une distribution en or massif (Deneuve, Ledoyen, Béart…) pour un règlement de comptes vaudevillesque entre femmes, où tout le monde, mère, fille, tante et grand-mère comprises, en prend pour son grade. Un brin décousu, le film est surtout prétexte à des numéros de divas cinématographiques, souvent épatants. Ceux qui avaient aimé l'univers intimiste de Sous le sable risquent d'être désorientés par le nouvel Ozon. Mais les amateurs de kitsch tendance La Cage aux folles apprécieront. Et ils sont nombreux, si l'on en juge par le succès considérable remporté par 8 femmes depuis sa sortie en salles. --Jean-Pascal Grosso

5.0 out of 5 stars A mystery story worthy of Hitchcock, Dec 15 2007

This review is from: 8 Women (DVD)
I really enjoyed this movie. It is a thriller/mystery where a murder has been committed and it is plain that it has to be one of 8 women, but who exactly. Everyone appears to have a good reason to have committed the act and the accusations, jealousies and intrigues are rife.

A treat to have some of the very top French actresses all in the same film and the acting is great.

3.0 out of 5 stars Heavy-weight talents in a light-weight film, Oct 29 2003
This review is from: 8 Women (DVD)
8 WOMEN cheerfully mixes the murder mystery, comedy, and musical genres into one film, and features energetic performances from a talented cast. But it is silly, fluffy, and stagy beyond words. Set entirely in a country house during two days in winter, its story follows the familiar Agatha Christie-whodunnit formula and is strictly by the book. The musical numbers are primitively put together, with the amateurish quality of their singing and choreography matching the overall frivolity. The dialogs are at times risque (the movie has an R rating), with the women often reveling in exposing one another's infidelities and sexual inadequacies. Some slapstick is thrown in as well, but nothing memorable. Every aspect of this film is unimpressive except the actors, who work really hard to wring every bit of life out of this inferior farce. This is not the best whodunit you'll ever see. Not the best comedy nor musical you'll ever see. Not the best film you'll ever see by any of the actresses.

Seeing Catherine Deneuve in a musical reminds one of the great 1964 musical UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG. Seeing Fanny Ardant in a whodunit brings to mind her work in the sparkling 1983 mystery CONFIDENTIALLY YOURS, directed by the great François Truffaut. Emmanuelle Béart is best remembered for her dramatic turns in such films as UN COEUR EN HIVER and MANON OF THE SPRINGS. And director François Ozon worked with Ludivine Sagnier again in a much better film called SWIMMING POOL. See those films instead of this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars 8 femmes... 8 suspectes, May 13 2011
By

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: 8 Women (DVD)
Ce film de François Ozon est une très belle perle dans le cinéma français car il rassemble, le temps d'un long métrage, 8 grandes actrices du cinéma français. Certaines d'entre elles, qui n'avaient jamais été en scène auparavant comme Isabelle Huppert et Catherine Deneuve, se donnent plaisir à s'affronter dans leurs archétypes et même à les briser devant nous.

En tant qu'intrigue, le film consiste en une journée d'hiver où 8 femmes, enfermées dans un manoir, essaient de découvrir laquelle a assassiné le propriétaire de la maison. Est-ce sa femme (Catherine Deneuve), l'une de ses filles (Ludivine Sagnier et Virginie Ledoyen), sa belle-soeur (Isabelle Huppert), sa belle-mère (Danielle Darrieux), sa femme de ménage (Firmine Richard), sa bonne (Émanuelle Béart) ou même sa soeur (Fanny Ardant).

Le tout parsemé de chansons populaires (une pour chaque actrice) et de surprises scandaleuses, François Ozon nous montre aussi, dans ses bonus, comment il a adapté, avec Marina de Van, une pièce de Pascal Thomas (jugée ringard aux yeux d'un des producteurs du film) et lui a donné une meilleure intrigue et de plus grands rebondissements.

Personnellement, c'est aussi un film qui m'a permis de découvrir ces actrices ainsi que d'autres réalisateurs avec lesquelles elles ont travaillé (ex: Michael Haneke, Lars von Trier, François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Christophe Honoré, Marjane Satrapi et Vincent Paronnaud, etc.), de découvrir des films différents et qui ne suivent pas les règles du cinéma hollywoodien.

Bref, je recommande 8 femmes à tous ceux et celles qui voudraient s'initier au cinéma européen.
