Touching and emotional film (2004-03-20)  Like a previous person, I make a point of watching any film directed by Patrice Leconte. I also think "The Hairdresser's Husband" is perhaps both his finest and his most obscure work. This touching film stars veteran French actor Jean Rochefort as Antoine--the hairdresser's husband, and Anna Galiena is Mathilde, the hairdresser ... enough said! The film portrays life at its finest as well as its most sad times. I found the film a little slow at some points but neccessary to enforce the fact that sometimes life is just peaceful and inactive and at times - rash and quick.
Bittersweet Vision of Love and Sex (2002-02-22)  I found this film to be fascinating and touching, especially if you are yourself in the middle of the first three months of a torrid love affair. As a woman, I hope that men are capable of feeling as the protagonist does about his personal fetish-female--I tend to think not, but it's the kind of thing we long for (ok, maybe only some of us long for...others may find it merely weird and incomprehensible). The film definitely touches on many erotic elements that may not be everyone's cup of tea, but the film is so visually charming and almost tactile in its depiction of sex that I think everyone will find something to like in it.I agree with the other reviewer in that it is a real shame they have never released the soundtrack. It should come as no surprise that the composer for this film, Michael Nyman, also did the music for "The Piano"--a movie which has a similar sensibility (and both films were directed by women, I believe!) Try to see this film when you are either in love or thinking about it.
Amusing, Sexy, Bewildering, Must watch (2001-10-13)  I've watched this flick now with two groups of people. The first time was with a bunch of my guy friends, some of who are artsy fartsy and some who are white trash. We all loved it. We found it hilarious, especially the "dancing" scenes. We also found it bewildering, but not quite weird. I just recently watched it with my girlfriend and 4 of her friends and their recations were quite different. Of course they found it funny by his dancing, but they found their relationship downright weird and the whole plot weird, but yet they still couldn't keep talking about it. Nontheless this is a good non-mainstream movie to check out, it may leave you wondering what the heck you just watched, but your life will be better from watching it. Trust me.
Intriguing study of love and relationship. (2001-10-10)  Intriguing study of love and relationship.
Very Special (2001-01-31)  A wonderful very special film that you will watch over and over again. If you yearn for the unique, love "Love" and music to set -your -feet -a- dancing, you are in for a treat. Tis a shame that they never released the soundtrack...
