eight women with secrets

The well-received French comedy, eight women in one play, has a strong lineup and innovative ideas, coupled with the suspenseful atmosphere of mysterious murder and the romantic singing and dancing interspersed, so it is very dramatic and attractive. The director draws on the exaggerated expression techniques of the stage play, and analyzes the secret emotions of these eight women. It turns out that all of them have inhuman scandals, or disregard morality, or violate ethics, or greed and desire, and they are accusing others. At the same time, he was also betrayed by others, and the spectators couldn't help laughing. Thinking about themselves, doesn't everyone actually have some secrets that others are afraid of knowing?
The eight actresses interpret each other's characters with different personalities in different styles, and their competing performances sparked admirable sparks, making this film both entertaining and viewing. Absurd characters, ridiculous plots, and the dark humor of the director and screenwriter fooled the audience. As a suspense film, it was not successful. It is better to treat it as a song and dance or a comedy.
