Hairdresser's Husband, The (BLU-RAY)

US Import

A newly restored masterpiece from famed director Patrice Leconte (Girl on the Bridge, Yvonne’s Perfume), The Hairdresser’s Husband is a wildly erotic ode to wedded bliss. Starring the legendary Jean Rochefort (Man on the Train) and the incandescent Anna Galiena (Jamón Jamón), it follows the life of young Antoine, who was obsessed with the bewitching beautician who cut his hair. Since then, his single ambition in life has been to marry a hairdresser. As an adult, Antoine (Rochefort) meets a woman (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.
