The youngest daughter Catherine accidentally witnessed the pretentious behavior of the women at home, so she set up a trap with her father to find out the secrets of the women around her. The plot unfolds with a murder case: in a confined space, the master Marcel is murdered. The murderer will be one of these 8 women, they are: Mistress Gaby, mother-in-law, sister-in-law Augustine, sister Perret , daughters Susan and Catherine, maid Louise, housekeeper Chanel.
Pandora's box opened: women were suspicious of each other in fear and attacked each other. The whole process is not as terrifying as a suspense film, but it is extremely absurd and comical. It is really so-called 8 women in one play---extremely wonderful. Of course, the film is not telling a detective story, but taking this as an opportunity to present the polarities of human nature to the audience.
good and evil. In the mutual torture, the unspeakable secrets are finally exposed: the mother-in-law who killed her husband, Susan who was made big belly by her father, Chanel who fell in love with Perret, and the sister-in-law who had a crush on Marcel. . . A woman's secret is nothing but love and hate. Everyone in the film tells their true inner world with a song and dance performance.
Desire to love and be loved. "There are all kinds of women, different eras, different generations"
Catherine of the day declared with a triumphant gesture that she had found justice for her poor father. As everyone knows, this "father" is the initiator.
"There is nothing like pleasant love". Women's hopes, this man can not give. Love and hate, in these emotions, women are always more involved than men, and it is easier to get caught up in them and unable to extricate themselves. Didn't the sins of 8 women stem from love? !

    The third François Ozon work I saw, and one of his most famous, turned out to be a disappointment. Theatrical sets and performances, but the song and dance segments in the film are very shabby and rough as if they have not been rehearsed at all, and the eight actresses are in short supply, and they are all just fighting alone. Insufficient presentation, the only thing that saves points is the progress of reasoning is still good.

    Just like the autophagy of the Mobius ring, this time it is more thorough, directly substituting the original male characters, but they appear on the screen with three inseparable spiritual identity; Ou Rong skillfully transplants the stage play mode, using different lines from the past. Bombing creates spicy characters and creates another possibility for the author's style; eight songs and eight advanced states are like extravagant whispers hovering over the secret room; the standardized ceremony ends, full of personality.
