Two featurettes are included on this release, the first of which is “Leconte On Leconte, Part 1” (36:14), an interview with the film’s director that is in French with English subtitles (Part 2 of this interview is included on another Leconte/Severin release, The Perfume Of Yvonne). The second featurette, “The Hairdresser’s Recollections” (17:41) interviews actress Anna Galiena (who has only grown more beautiful with time and conducts her interview in English with nary a trace of an accent). Both special features contain spoilers, so watch the damn movie first. The last extra on the disc is the original French trailer (1:22).
A disturbingly haunting tale of passion, The Hairdresser’s Husband is by and far the most “normal” release to emerge out of Severin’s library. Nevertheless, it will be enjoyed by both the regular fans of Severin titles and foreign romance aficionados alike.
