I notice that in the listings here it doesn't say who sings on what tracks, so that is why I am doing this editorial:

2. Papa T'es Plus Dans L'coup (Ludivine Sagnier)
3. Message Personnel (Isabelle Huppert)
4. A Quoi Sert De Vivre Libre (Fanny Ardant)
5. Mon Amour Mon Ami (Virginie Ledoyen)
6. Pour Ne Pas Vivre Seul (Firmine Richard)
7. Pile Ou Face (Emmanelle Béart)
8. Toi Jamais (Catherine Deneuve)
9. Il N'y A Pas D'amour Heureux (Danielle Darrieux)

Tracks 2 - 9 are the only ones with vocals. The rest is nice score music from the film.

If you are considering buying this cd, it's probably because you saw the movie and enjoyed the music. You will not be disappointed. For me, the musical numbers were by far the best part of the film. From the bouncy "Mon amour mon ami," to the sultry "A Quoi Sert De Vivre Libre," to the heart-breaking "Pour Ne Pas Vivre Seul" the songs are all worth listening to again and again. Honestly, I haven't listened much to the non-vocal parts of the cd, but the vocal parts alone make it worth buying.

The songs are on this CD are sung by each actress, more or less establishing her take on her position in the world. Some of the songs are very clever. A must for the fans of the movie.

I liked it and I would obviously recommend it to all the fans of François Ozon's musical comedy murder-mystery film. I would also recommend it to all the fans of French music, as all the songs sang really nicely here by the performing actresses were once made famous by other French artists (I have listed them above). Worth a try.
