Synopsis

The film begins with a flashback from the titular character, Antoine. We are introduced to his fixation with female hairdressers which began at a young age. The film uses flashbacks throughout and there are frequent parallels drawn with the past. We are unsure what Antoine has done with his life, however, we know he has fulfilled his childhood ambition, to marry a hairdresser.

Glenn Mckenzie This is a strange little film. Intriguing to say the least. A man sees a woman he loves, she is a hairdresser, he then marries her hence Hairdresser's Husband. It is well shot and the strange part comes because he asks the hairdresser to marry him the first time he meets her.There is an intense love between them and this plays out to the end of the film. Not a huge amount happens in the film but it is just a beautiful little film to watch. If you watch it with a Hairdresser you love then this may pay dividends. You can ask her to marry you straight after the film because with this film love at first sight and marrying almost immediately is the only option.I can't really see this happening in reality to two people not so quick as this but when love shows it's beautiful face I suppose you just have to seize the moment. Great film!
MartinHafer This was a very simple little movie that I liked until the abrupt and totally unnecessary ending to the film. It literally took the film from a score of 8 or 9 and lowered it to a 6 because it just destroyed much of what it had accomplished in a space of just a few minutes. I won't ruin it for the viewer, but have a hard time imagining anyone liking the way the movie ends.The acting was very good and the story at times was VERY sensual and romantic--that's why it's such a shame the film de-rails so badly at the end. If this film were re-made with a better ending, I would gladly rush out to see it.FYI--due to the sexuality in the movie, I would recommend this to adults.
maninthemoon Already more than 10 years since I have seen this movie the first time. And I still think it is one of the best ones... great actors (Jean Rochefort will make you laugh, Anna Galiena is superb and attractive as ever), excellent story who does not need to have a real happy end ... one of the big differences from the usual Hollywood trash. For me one of the big success of French cinema - although this film is not such a well known one... ... together with "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain" (2001) the two French movies in my Top 10 collection! .
Insp. Clouzot A simple story. Like a fairy tale. Two main characters. Great acting with special applause to Jean ROCHEFORT. It is about love and senses (smells, odors, music, strokes...). It is also very funny. Most of the film takes place in the salon: we get an increased intimacy with the characters. I recommend this movie as a must see. My vote: 9 / 10.
