Bluebeard
Controversial director Catherine Breillat retells the grisly fairytale of a child bride who is married to an aristocratic ogre with a reputation for murdering his wives.
Breillat has produced her funniest and most immediately pleasurable film to date- Time Out
Breillat delivers a new spin on an old tale that doesn’t underestimate the female spirit.
– David Parkinson, Empire Magazine
Psychologically rich, unobtrusively minimalist, at once admirably straightforward and slyly comic.
– J. Hoberman, Village Voice
All fairy tales have morals and the one in Ms. Breillat’s Bluebeard is brutal, suitably bloody and, like all good retellings, both similar to and different from earlier iterations.
