Others see ugliness, I see love in ugliness

I always feel that Ou Rong is more like a writer than a filmmaker, and various literary forms are always inadvertently used in movies by him. "Eight Beauties" has the sophistication of a stage play and the embellishment of singing and dancing, but it is absurd but quite self-evident. Despite being in a confined space, the sense of suspense is carried from head to tail. Eight women in one play, the secrets are more than the pearls on the body, and the deconstruction of women is at a glance. Sure enough, homosexuality is the most understanding of women!

The Blizzard Mountain Villa murders, theatrical scenes and curtain changes, Jacques Demy-style colors and singing and dancing, and French young, middle-aged and young actresses performing on the same stage are all formal elements. Multiple forms are nested layer by layer, character relationships are intricate, same-sex and bi-sex infidelity is complete, and under the carnival-like dazzling flower work, there is no effective core or true feelings. A work of style, but by no means a masterpiece.
