8 Women (DVD review)

8 Women (2002) Catherine Deneuve, Ludivine Sagnier. Wacky French film is a murder-mystery-musical in which eight women, most of them related, are isolated in a country house during a snowstorm after the master of the house is murdered. They all have motives to want him dead, but who did the deed? The "mystery" is interspersed with musical numbers in which the women take turns performing songs that reflect their individual personalities. It's good fun if you're in the mood for something light and goofy. Grade: B+
