8 Women (8 Femmes)
AroView: In the classic whodunnit mold, this whimsical French “thriller” starts with a man’s dead body in a snowbound Alpine manse in the 1950s, and eight female suspects to find the truth out for themselves.
Graced with an excellent lineup – Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Huppert and Emmanuelle Beart among them – the blueprint of Agatha Christie is readily apparent beneath the French stylings and wit, though this is played mostly for fun, with touches of farce, camp humour and a half dozen musical numbers!
