Based on Charles Perrault's grisly fairytale, Bluebeard tells the story of young Marie—Catherine, child bride to an aristocratic ogre with a reputation for murdering his wives. Controversial director Catherine Breillat (The Last Mistress, Fat Girl, Romance) brings her personal touch to this classic tale, a favorite of good little French girls since the 1950's. Princess Marie—Catherine must employ all her cunning to outwit her husband and escape a potentially unpleasant fate.
