Rated: R; Video Release Date: Feb 11, 2003; Genres: Comedy, Crime, Mystery; With: Emmanuelle Beart, Danielle Darrieux, Catherine Deneuve, Fanny Ardant and Firmine Richard...; Distributor: Universal Focus

A snowed-in country house, a man with a knife in his back, and eight women -- from the cheating wife (Deneuve) to the naughty chambermaid (Emmanuelle Beart) -- all with motive and opportunity for murder. The most delicious thing about Francois Ozon's Sirk-on-acid whodunit may be that despite a through-the-roof camp factor (by the way, it's also a musical), the actresses inhabit the melodrama rather than just give it a wink. Which makes Deneuve and Ardant's catfight-turned-kiss sorta mind-blowing.
