Product Description

Amazon.ca

French director François Ozon's international hit manages to spoof both convoluted film whodunits and overblown Hollywood musicals: Agatha Christie as envisioned by Baz Luhrmann. One of the romp's chief joys is having eight of modern French cinema's most accomplished actresses take their turns in elaborately staged song and dance numbers, performances that compose this soundtrack's first half. Those showcases range from Ludivine Sagnier's loopy, '60s a-go-go take on "Papa T'es Plus dans L'Coup" through Fanny Ardant's breezy Parisian jazz, Isabelle Huppert's world-weary "Message Personnel," and Catherine Deneuve's tango-tinged "Toi Jamais." Coupled with Krishna Levy's masterfully earnest orchestral score (which offers a few fond nods to such '40s Bernard Herrmann romantic classics as Jane Eyre), the film's campy delights are crucially delivered deadpan and with nary a knowing wink, a tack that ensures its musical triumph--tongue firmly in cheek, or otherwise. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

8 Women is the story of 8 women trapped in the house of a murdered man. One of the women is the culprit, and suspicious and mistrust run wild as they try to outwit and out maneuver one another. This French hit by filmmaker Francois Ozon has wowed audiences across Europe and the U.S. Academy Award winner Catherine Deneuve leads the star-studded cast, which boasts the best-known and most talented women of French cinema. Eight songs off the soundtrack feature the vocal talents of each of these eight actresses. The score is by Krishna Levy. Rhino. 2002.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charmante bande sonore April 22 2012
By Omnes TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
Cette bande sonore, tirée du film "8 Femmes" de François Ozon, rassemble à la fois les compositions complètes que Krishna Levy a faites pour ce film, ainsi que les chansons interprétées par les 8 actrices du film. Chacune de ces chansons, présentées selon l'ordre d'interprétation durant le film, sont importantes car elles sont liées à la personnalité de ces femmes et de leur vision du monde. Ce sont plusieurs classiques de chanteuses françaises comme Dalida, Nicoletta, Françoise Hardy, Louis Aragon ou Sheila que de nouvelles générations d'auditeurs pourront écouter à travers cet album.

Quant à la qualité sonore du disque compact, celui-ci reste assez excellente et le volume sonore des chansons reste constant, alors il n'y a pas de risque à avoir des déséquilibres de volume pour certains titres.

Pour finir, cet album est l'occasion idéale de permettre aux spectateurs de ce film de se rappeler de divers instants qui se sont produits entre ces femmes.

4.0 out of 5 stars The only good thing about the French Mar 29 2003
Format:Audio CD
...are the women, Denneuve, Ardant, Huppert... They concentrate on their craft (rather than foolishly open their mouths like their men). If you have seen the movie 8 femmes, you will enjoy this cd album, otherwise, it does not make sense owning this collection of songs - eight songs sang by the women in the movie and the rest are piano numbers that sound the same. This album is purely an accessory to the movie. I suggest you buy, err..., rent the DVD movie first (why buy anything French at this time?) and then decide whether you like to listen to the songs again. Pleasantly surprising are these French actresses, who, not only can act but also sing (Beart and Darrieux had duets with Patrick Bruel before this movie was made). The songs are melodic and very soothing, even Ludivine Sangnier's number is a treat to youngsters (do not let them see the X-rated movie). The movie is a musical comedy but these songs are hauntingly sad. Denneuve is magnificent and Ardant's number is vampy. Fermine Richard's and Isabelle Huppert's are melancholic. One good thing about the French is their true and honest homage to women who like their wine, become more beautiful with age...Ardant, Denneuve, Dannielle Darrieux...no obvious plastic surgery, no hauntingly cachectic figures, just nature aging beautifully...with melody.

Nice songs, and especially for students of French like myself. Good for enriching the vocabulary and music to the ears. The movie 8 femmes is a must see-too.
