Details: Amazon.ca In the provinces, it's time to celebrate Christmas in a bourgeois family mainly composed of women. Only the father, who stayed in bed late, seems to take time to interfere in the reunion. Normal. His own daughter finds him stabbed in his bedroom. The harpies find themselves among themselves with, on their lips, this common question: who is the assassin? We knew the contempt that François Ozon had for the family unit since his disconcerting Sitcom. There, he drives the point home by bringing together a cast of solid gold (Deneuve, Ledoyen, Béart…) for a vaudevillesque settling of scores between women, where everyone, mother, daughter, aunt and grandmother included, takes it for their own sake. grade. A bit disjointed, the film is above all a pretext for cinematographic diva numbers, often amazing. Those who liked the intimate universe of Beneath the sand may be disoriented by the new Ozon. But lovers of trendy kitsch La Cage aux Folles will appreciate. And there are many of them, judging by the considerable success achieved by 8 women since its theatrical release. --Jean-Pascal Grosso
