Eight beautiful pictures

Beneath everyone's bright and gentle surface, there must be a cold and helpless side. The film begins with the man being killed, and then the eight women associated with it, in order to prove their innocence, embark on a truth or dare. The sister-in-law has a crush on her brother-in-law, the sister and the black maid are bisexual, and the other beautiful maid is the lover of the male master who has been dating for five years. Elopement, and this person has a dark marriage with his sister Zhu, the eldest daughter is not her own and is pregnant before marriage, and the younger daughter arranges her father's suspended death, which leads to her father's actual suicide. Everything stems from the fact that after the male owner goes bankrupt, he looks like a family, but each has a ghost in his heart. The film always unfolds in a house, with bright costumes, graceful dancing, touching lyrics, peculiar ideas, and a wonderful ending. Life is like a drama, if it is condensed into more than 100 minutes, there will be climaxes one after another, which is embarrassing, not to mention the lives of nine people. It was snowing all the time outside, setting off the human cold in the house. A rare suspense masterpiece, watch it patiently until the end.

    love it. It has found an excellent balance between absurd humor and delicate sensibility. Several goddesses are so beautiful. Huppert's performance is the most clever! Love every verse of the song...

    Eight women in one play. Collected 8 French actresses to stage a stage-style reasoning movie. With the development of the plot, everyone's secrets are revealed one by one, and there are "taboo"-style careful thoughts hidden under the bright appearance. It proves that in the French film industry, no matter how old you are, you can have your own development. The director tried his best to make each of them have a "highlight moment", that is, a performance of singing and dancing, which made the images of all the women more plump. Among so many people, the best performer is actually Aunt Yu.
