Film Description
A large bourgeois residence in the middle of the countryside at the end of the 1950s with Christmas preparations underway. The master of the house is murdered, eight women close to the victim are present and one of them is clearly guilty of the crime. But which one? A dazzling cast stars in this comedic murder mystery, nominated for 12 Cesars in France.

Review by Alan Hunter on 30th June 2003
Agatha Christie plot line meets European farce with bite. Ozon does it so well and for those of us who like French actresses this is a dream. He chose his cast well and he gives them space to act as they do best. Danielle Darieux has over 70 years of screen experience, Catherine Deneuve nearly 50, even the youngest Ludivine Sagnier has over 10 years. Which one do you like best? Huppert's extraordinary transformation? Huppert getting seriously menacing? Beart's saucy french maid? Can anyone compete with Fanny Ardant's vivacious beauty? Can she really still look this good? Older women seem to be getting younger these days - which brings us to Catherine Deneuve. She really is still dangerous. But it is the combination of all eight which makes the film. There they are, confined in the house with one dead husband and eight motives. Tensions rise and truths emerge, all perfectly paced to the shocking denoument. Topped off with superb design in both set and costumes 8 Women is a must see for relaxed, but not brainless, summer viewing.

Films From Room 101 by Alex Davidson
As much as I love cinema, sometimes a film comes along which makes me wish to cull the entire cast and crew. More often than not they are films that are inexplicably popular with critics and the public, which makes my frustration all the greater. Anyone who seriously thinks Love Actually is a good film should not be allowed out in public. Anyway, here are ten of the most execrable films ever made for the sadists out there...
