Pretentious nonsense I thought I'd seen some pretentious French movies in my time ( Betty Blue, Les Biches, Comment je me suis disputé... (ma vie sexuelle).....) but this one really takes the cake. I was recently converted back to French movies after seeing the marvellous farce "French Twist". The Hairdressers Husband has put me right off again. The Hairdresser kills herself because she's so happy? Yeah, right. Only in France.
