Movie Reviews of 8 Women
Movie Review: Dramatic and Funny
Summary: 5 Stars
this film was a wonderful french forgein film. it was beautifully shot in only a living room. the costumes and actresses fit their parts perfectly. this story is about 8 women finding out that the father has been killed and that the murderer is one of them. the stories twists and turns keep you thinking till the end. the women give away life secrets in the process of finding the murderer. the actresses will break out into song in the middle of a sentence causing many laughs and bright eyes. the story was intressting and vibrant although only shot in the living room. the characters may seem a bit extravagant but thats what makes this movie a head turner, and a great converstation starter. even after the movie is over i was just as happy as in the beginning, middle and end. a wonderful fabulous movie.Movie Review: Leave your sanity at the door
Summary: 5 Stars
Seriously - take this film for what it is, watch some of the best actresses ever chew the scenery and enjoy! Don't expect anything too profound - but watch the faces! Just watching Emmanuel Beart pout is worth the cost of the film alone. This is a film in love with the idea of woman but appalled at the reality. Understand that and all else becomes clear. I rate this as one of my top 50 films because I enjoy watching actors act with subtle changes in facial expressions - only the most skilled can do it (without resorting to stock expressions a la Keanu Reaves)and this film is filled with some of the best.Oh by the way of you are a fan of cheesy French Rock and Roll I deny you not too hum along to the first number. The UK DVD has the full version of this as an extra.
Movie Review: Fun Ditty
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, I'd like to comment on the fact that this flick has a "theater" feel to it. It feels as though the audience is interacting with the cast. This musical whodunit mystery/black comedy is quite entertaining (and very French). Ozone uses bright colors and outlandish wardrobe as usual on this canvas. The musical score was fresh and although it wasn't necessary to further the plot, it added yet another dimension of artistry to the film. The actresses in this were clearly having a good time, and won me over right from the get-go. The plot is a typical "clue-style" story where 8 women are all suspects in a murder and they are trapped in a house with each other.
A must see for all "artsy" film lovers!
Movie Review: 8 Femmes
Summary: 5 Stars
Charmingly funny movie with the creme de la creme of french actresses. I was impressed by the vivid color of both the cinematography and the portrayals, that I find myself watching this movie again and again. Isabelle Huppert gives and outstanding performance as the spinster sister to Catherine Denueve, who is perfectly cast in her portrayal of the sexy wife and mother. Fanny Ardant is beautiful as always and gives a standout performance. All of these women were perfectly cast. The plot was surprising with twists and turns all leading up to the climax. A classic who-done-it with a bit of slapstick and music. A definate must see. However the DVD does not have the ability to turn off the subtitles, for those of us that find them a distraction.Movie Review: There is no happy love!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ouzon explores the feminine universe through the lives and times of 8 women around the sudden crime of the only man of the house. 8 women, every one of them with their affective lacks, their tribulations. Little miseries, sorrows and disillusions. Each one oft them is potentially suspicious of having murdered Marcel.
The admirable photography and colossal arrangement of a beautiful stage, with a sublime red carpet that remind us Bergman in Cries and whispers plus the visible and well deserved homage top Alfred Hitchcock (Vertigo) expressed warmly in the last quarter of the film, plus the additional musical numbers make of this film an absolute and delicious feast to your senses.
A must-see!
