Movie Reviews

Hartford Courant - 8/10 by Malcolm JohnsonThe Hairdresser's Husband, while finally moving, also plays like a film that dances in a trance about a half-formed idea with a preordained ending.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyLaconte's lyrical film is a painful tale of erotic obsession, imbued with a typically French fateful sensibility, and splendidly acted by the entire cast.
User Review - 10/10 by Ricardo MPatrice Leconte's masterpiece; a wonderful blend of nostalgia, eroticism, comedy, psychology, and romance, with the superb actor Jean Rochefort as an aging romantic obsessed with marrying a hairdresser, and does, the lovely Anna Galiena. Michael Nyman's original score fills the gorgeous, romantic images of Leconte's (especially during the sea-side flashback sequences to Rochefort's childhood) with a heart-filling lushness, countered periodically with Rochefort's silly, funny use of Eastern dance music to entertain his wife and customers. Psycho-sexual obsession is a key theme in Leconte's films, but this is undeniably romantic, despite both time periods being fringed with unexpected tragedy, and a mesmerizing study of sensuality.
User Review - 10/10 by Ali GThe French do what the Yanks can't, a study in sensuous, erotic, passionate and intimate love without being soft porn and smutty. Gaps and silences speak volumes. A beautiful, humorous, heart warming, heart breaking film.
User Review - 10/10 by Magnus X"Crossword puzzle's are like women. The more reluctant, the nicer it is when they give in. I know." A wonderful film. Funny, romantic and sad, a great film by Patrice Leconte. Great performances by Jean Rochefort and Anna Galiena.
User Review - 10/10 by Tomas JWho wouldn't want to marry this hairdresser. Warm, intelligent and funny tragedy. Watch it!
User Review - 10/10 by Alison SBeautiful and heart wrenching. Jean Rochefort is so alluring.
User Review - 10/10 by Fleur DThird time I've seen it now...still utterly overcome. So intense, so sensual, so beautiful, so sad...
User Review - 10/10 by Robert Hor even Le Mari de la coiffeuse, saw it on TV without planning to and just connected.
User Review - 10/10 by Jessica Bso beautiful and heartbreaking- simple, erotic, and tragic. I can never watch it too many times....
