Alessandro Genovesi's '7 donne e un mistero' Premieres Christmas Day
Alessandro Genovesi directs '7 donne e un mistero,' a comedy-thriller that takes inspiration from François Ozon's '8 Femmes' and Robert Thomas's play. The story follows seven women who gather at a villa after Marcello, a mysterious entrepreneur, is murdered. Set in the 1930s, the cast includes notable names like Margherita Buy, Diana Del Bufalo, and Sabrina Impacciatore, among others. Genovesi clarified that this version differs from Ozon's by not being a musical, focusing instead on themes of complicity rather than jealousy. The action takes place on Christmas Eve, blending humor, intrigue, and betrayal. Warner Bros. Italia is set to release the film on December 25.
