The Hairdresser's Husband


















This was a movie that a friend recommended to me ages ago. It only recently became available on DVD, so thank you Netflix for being on the ball. There isn't anyone terribly famous in The Hairdresser's Husband, it's only 82 minutes, and you'll never figure out exactly what is going on, but it was fun to watch and very poetic. Frenchies make the best romances. If you like Jean-Pierre Jeunet (it's hard to image that he didn't see this movie and instantly love it - in fact, The Hairdresser's Husband, Amelie and The Double Life of Veronique prove that there was some sort of movement happening in French cinema in the early nineties), Bergman, Bunuel, even David Lynch, give The Hairdresser's Husband a shot. In short, if you love movies and watch them all the time, all the time, you'll really enjoy it.



The first three minutes of this movie are fantastically sweet.
