Jean Rochefort gives an oblique performance in Leconte's brisk and eccentric tale. Arabic music and hairdressers being his principal interests. Once he settles with Mathilde they swiftly move into a cocooned yet quirky personal existence.
"Life is disgusting" comments Mathilde on growing old. Intensity and desire must never wilt in her world. Hence the climax. As a study of erotic obsession, "The Hairdresser's Husband" is succinct and observant. Well done to all concerned.
7/10
