Cinema Blindspot

009 - 8 Women (2002)


Listen Later

Still running with the musical baton, this week on Cinema Blindspot Tara introduces Ti to Francois Ozon's all-star cast 1950s murder mystery/musical satire 8 Women. 
Determined to get Ti to enjoy French cinema as much as she does Tara explains why plot isn't important and how seamlessness in cinema is unnecessary - a successful tactic? 
Does Ti think the musical numbers appear out of nowhere and that Catherine Deneuve smashing a bottle of booze over Danielle Darrieux's head is alarming rather than entertaining? 
What then should we think about Tara's idea of 'entertainment'? 
Are the screen charms of Fanny Ardant, Emmanuelle Beart and Isabelle Huppert enough save the hosts from re-creating such a scene?
