The Hairdresser's Husband (1990)

The Hairdresser's Husband (1990)
Member Rating:  
Erotic, funny, and very French, this film relies heavily on the critically-acclaimed performance of Jean Rochefort. As a child, Antoine (Rochefort) was obsessed with the ample beautician who cut his hair, and since then, his single ambition in life has been to marry a hairdresser. As an adult, Antoine meets a woman (Anna Galiena) who seems to be the perfect incarnation of his childhood fantasies. He promptly marries her, then spends most of his daylight hours sitting in her shop, watching her every move. They are so crazy in love that some days they close up early to be alone. As time passes the shop becomes their entire world. ~ Yuri German, Rovi

Very French foreign film-- a stylistic story of romantic obsession--with a tragic end--we sometimes get what we fantasize about and dearly wish for but not forever. Charming performances by the players. Not for those who want the obvious entertainment of movies done in English.

The Hairdresser's Husband is one of the most bizarre movies I have ever seen. It is definitely about a frame of mind that is far out from my experience, and I can only suppose that it is based on a French sensibility. It was very interesting and amusing, though. I enjoyed watching it.
