A Bluebeard story from true events.
Sinekatalog’s take
Claude Chabrol's black comedy retells the true story of the French Bluebeard who murdered a series of women in the First World War. Charles Denner is superb in a stylish, deadpan and elegantly ironic period film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
