Hilarious!
In 1950's France, a family is gathered to celebrate Christmas in an isolated mansion. When the patriarch is murdered, everyone in the house comes under scrutiny; the wife Gaby (Catherine Deneuve), the spinster sister-in-law Augustine (Isabelle Huppert), the mother-in-law Mamy (Danielle Darrieux), the chambermaid Louise (Emmanuelle Beart), the daughters Suzon (Virginie Ledoyen) and Catherine (Ludivine Sagnier). When the victim's sister Pierrette (Fanny Ardant) arrives, the household is sent into chaos. In one particularly fraught scene, what starts as a girl fight, ends up with Gaby and Pierrette in a passionate embrace on the floor.In an unusual twist, this murder mystery turns musical as each actress sings a song in this campy musical murder mystery.French Language/English SubtitlesChris AldersonAuthor of the 2013 Lesbian Film Guide
