Catherine Breillat- Barbe Bleue (2009) Movies

Posted by pgf000 at Jan. 15, 2010

Infused with a sumptuous elegance, Catherine Breillat's eerie retelling of the Charles Perrault fairytale Bluebeard is very sensual and highly stylized while adhering to an almost literary interpretation of the story. Shown at the Vancouver Film Festival, the film operates on parallel levels, both involving two sisters. In the first story, two young sisters play in the attic of their home in France in the present time. Catherine, who according to Breillat's autobiographical material, represents the director, plays power games with her older but more withdrawn sister Marie-Anne by tormenting her with readings of the classic horror story "Bluebeard".
Souvent les contes des fées prennent comme personnage central des sortes de serial killer d’enfants : ainsi en va-t-il des Ogres.
Mais Barbe-bleue en est la figure emblématique. C’est aussi dans les années 50-55 le conte préféré des petites filles modèles.
C’est le cas de Catherine, elle adore effrayer sa grande sœur Marie-Anne en lui lisant obstinément le conte jusqu’à ce qu’elle pleure.
En même temps Catherine se projette dans le conte, elle y devient la princesse Marie-Catherine, la dernière femme de Barbe Bleue, celle qui ne rejoindra pas les femmes pendues qui l’ont précédée. Parce qu’elle, elle est la princesse vierge que l’Ogre ne peut se résoudre à tuer.
