Storyline
Twelve-year-old Antoine falls profoundly in love with a voluptuous but suicidal hairdresser, a formative experience he never forgets. Much later in life, he seeks to repeat his romance by marrying Mathilde - also voluptuous and also a hairdresser - with whom he forms an intimate and consuming relationship in an attempt to blot out the miseries of this world from their lives.

How anyone can give a negative review of this film is beyond me. It is a delight to watch from start to finish. It has everything, humour, drama and it is very moving. I have read reviews stating that the film is sexist; I'm sure these so- called 'critics' were watching a different film to me. It is a film about a man's pure love for a woman and if thats sexist, then beam me up Scotty! If you get a chance, please watch this film. I promise, you won't be disappointed.
