Bluebeard
Directed by Catherine Breillat
Produced by Flach Film, CB Films
A dark, paranoia-soaked adaptation of the Bluebeard fairy tale that frames the classic story through a nested narrative, exploring female vulnerability, economic desperation, and the danger lurking beneath wealth and charm.
Anne reads her younger sister, Marie-Catherine, the story of Bluebeard. In 17th-century France, another set of sisters — also named Anne and Marie-Catherine — are left impoverished by their father's death. Marie-Catherine dreams of marrying into money, and soon falls for wealthy divorcé Bluebeard. Grateful for the chance at a life of comfort, Marie-Catherine marries Bluebeard — in spite of rumors that he has made a hobby of murdering his wives.
