Le Mari de la Coiffeuse (The Hairdresser's Husband) is a touching coming of age story of a man who finds himself reluctant to leave the comforting construct devised of his boyhood experiences, his passion for the sensual and his expression of joy through middle-eastern dance. The Hairdresser's Husband is of the classic Trufaut genre using symbolism, situational comedy and 3rd person to convey the moment. LeConte accomplishes this in a basic recognizable formula that transcends encountered tragedy of Antoine with the philosophical conclusion of how delicate, random, painful and wondrous life is...c'est la vie, in a nutshell. I loved it. The only caveat I offer is that I own the English subtitled version, which some have noted may lose meaning in translation. It is a treasured piece of my library that is warming on days like Mondays.
