Editorial Reviews

Roger Ebert

"Sexier Than A Dozen BASIC INSTINCTs... One Of The Year's Ten Best Films!"


Product Description

Nominated For 7 César Awards Including: Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Screenplay

In this acclaimed masterpiece from Oscar(r) nominated writer/director Patrice Leconte (RIDICULE, THE PERFUME OF YVONNE), legendary French actor Jean Rochefort (MAN ON THE TRAIN) stars as an older man whose childhood sexual obsession with a local hairdresser leads him one day to the shop of beautiful young Mathilde (Anna Galiena). What follows is a romance of ultimate sensual devotion, where love will walk the line between physical pleasure and eternal desire. Anne-Marie Pisani (DELICATESSEN) co-stars in this uncommon erotic classic that DVD Savant hails as "one of the most remarkable and affecting love stories ever told!"

EXTRAS:
"Leconte on Leconte Part 1" - Featurette with Director Patrice Leconte
"The Hairdresser's Recollections" - Featurette with Star Anna Galiena

5.0 out of 5 stars a treasure..., October 15, 2008

(REAL NAME)   
Subtle but with intense under-currents, heart-breaking yet uplifting... Superlative minimalistic acting and story-telling. Must-see, must-own...

5.0 out of 5 stars Bittersweet, sad and nostalgic. C'est magnifique!, May 2, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Finally, this excellent LeConte movie comes out on DVD. Jean Rochefort as Antoine manages to infuse a child's innocence into a man's gaze just as the lovely Anna Galiena mixes a natural sensuality with an unmistakable naivete. Is it a linear story? Well, yes and no. It centers around the character of Antoine who as a child, falls in love with his local coiffeuse. His dream is to marry one and as an adult he meets the lovely and lonely Matilde. To tell more would ruin the tale and it really is a wonderfully layered and brilliant story.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful, quirky, heartbreaking classic, May 1, 2009
THE HAIRDRESSER'S HUSBAND is perhaps Patrice Leconte's masterpiece -- it's certainly my favorite of his movies. It explores, with heart, charm, and insight, the mysterious recesses of love and desire.

I heartily recommend it.
