8 WOMEN (2002)

8 Women is a murder mystery musical drama that was made for the theater stage, but has now been transformed onto the silver screen by François Ozon.  The story takes place in a small mansion where 8 women are snowed in and cut off from the world after they find the businessman Marcel stabbed in the back.  They all have motives to have had committed the murder, but as they cannot leave they suspect and fear each other.  The question is who is the guilty woman?  8 Women is an funny murder mystery that continuously feeds the audience clues, but always keeps the audience on their toes.  In the end, this is a pretty good cinematic experience, but 8 Women was probably better on the stage.
