Why we chose it

Isabelle Huppert, Fanny Ardant, Emmanuelle Béart, Catherine Deneuve and Danielle Darrieux are snowed in with a corpse in François Ozon’s musical, one of the most original of our time. They all sing in tune, but not one of them is telling the truth.

Synopsis

Eight women are gathered in a house in provincial France for Christmas 1950, while upstairs the man of the house lies with a knife in his back. With the phone dead and the car refusing to start, nobody can leave. Every one of them had a reason to kill him, and every one of them has a song to sing.
