Every woman is a song, they can choose side A or side B

It snows in winter, and the film is filled with the joyous atmosphere of Christmas at the beginning. Family members who have not seen for a long time, meet, kiss, and greet each other, "Daddy, you are too outdated, all you have to do is to go back to school, Learning all kinds of new things..." The happy and playful singing of the youngest daughter Katherine was interrupted by the unexpected death of the homeowner.



There is no man in the film, and the only male protagonist who appears is gone at the beginning, but it affects the fate of these eight women infinitely, and the great influence of one man. There is a burden and a sincere feeling on everyone's shoulders. All were spread out one by one in front of the dead. A benevolent grandmother who had poisoned her husband with alcohol because of an emotionless marriage, and Aunt Augustine, who has been suffering from the loss of her father, has a heart attack, and she loves the heroine and sister, old dancer Kerret, and is lonely in the kitchen Chanel, the maid who sings "In order not to be lonely, lonely child, just like other children." Jealousy is always robbed of the love in her heart but in "Men, all men in the world are the same because you are my man, I will forgive you" You, but you can't." The heart-to-heart connection rolls the carpet and grabs the pistol, but kisses lingeringly, pity the child who witnesses the greed, ugliness, unease, anxiety, and planning of the woman's interpretation, and believes that when he grows up, he can gain the right to speak. Catherine. Life is undoubtedly constructed by people, and families are undoubtedly constructed by emotions, intertwined, scene by scene, conspiracy theory or just the A side of life and the B side?



What I like most is the part of Augustine when he learned that the male protagonist passed away, playing the piano and saying a monologue: "On the other side of the border, your voice came, I didn't have a chance to say it, and sad words can't make people happy. Movies, songs, common words in books, what I want to say to you, what I want to keep, what I can’t say, I want to say, but I can’t.”



If life is a slow-moving phonograph, then every Women can become a song, automatically flip A-side B-side, cassette or stand still. The A side of life is always on the happy note of Christmas, with the best snow and the most delicious truffle cake; the B side is the cliff that goes from shallow to deep, either jump off or you can also have a small pistol, murder becomes Suicide? Because there are feelings, there will be unacceptable facts, the courage to live, and the expressions that cannot be faked. As long as you live, there will be pressures that you can't get rid of and love that you can't forget.



This is a suspense film that is the least like a murder suspense film. Every woman's song sings about her own life. Instead, it initially led them to recall the past. , emotionally seems to indicate that the feelings are in agreement, and they will continue to live and live. While criticizing the inherent evil of human nature, the director also stands on the ground that everyone bears the burden of life, understands and tolerates eight murderers.



Human nature is inherently evil and human nature is inherently good, but it is not that important. We are all interlayers, and we do not belong to a title or a group.

    80% of the people who don't like it think that the sense of stage is too strong, but if you look at you with the serious eyes of Holmes, you will lose. The last song and dance is just right, the first one is a bit abrupt, my favorite is the short chorus of the two sisters, toi, mon amour, mon ami, which is a little fresh and lovely in the depressing. The acting skills of several protagonists are impeccable, and after guessing, I still can't guess the ending. Don't read movie reviews beforehand!

    A lot of powerful actresses in France for decades, each with their own posture, is really good-looking. From the lost soul family, dry wood and fire all the way to filming, this kind of drama adaptation with a strong sense of stage has become Ou Rong's forte, turning pretentiousness into instant fun, a noisy and tragic humor.
