MURDLR MYSH'RY MUSICAI

8 WOMEN cos

French filmmaker continues to surprise COO

Francois Ozon’s prolific career continues to head off in unexpected directions. Following the scrupulously controlled and haunting bereavement drama Under the Sand, he returns with the flamboyant murder-mystery-

musical 8 Women.

Based on a little-known Robert Thomas play, it’s a stylised and deliberately theatrical adaptation, which like the director’s earlier Water Drops on Burning Rocks, is restricted to a single setting, in this case a French country mansion in the 19505. There, while the family gathers for Christmas, papa is found dead in his bed, and the

suspects in the house are all female.

Was it his wife Gaby (Catherine Deneuve), or one of his two daughters (Viriginie Le Doyen, Ludivine Sagnier)? Or his sister-in-law (Isabelle Huppert)? Or perhaps his mother-in-law (Danielle Darrieux)? Perhaps it was the victim’s estranged sister (Fanny Ardant), or the housekeeper (Firmine Richard)? Or the maid (Emmanuelle Beart)? The police, however, can’t be called because the phone lines have been cut, the car won’t start, and walking is out of the questions in this snow. (Tom Dawson)
