French provocateur Catherine Briellat delivers an unconventional and witty take on Charles Perrault’s classic folktale. Set in a bygoneage France, this elegant Freudian fable begins with two girls facing poverty after their father’s death. One of the girls marries a much feared local seigneur, the wealthy hirsute Bluebeard, and proves a surprising match for him.
