Because the English-language dvds on offer were either inordinately expensive or abysmally reviewed for their quality I had to get this film in Spanish, which I do not speak. It didn't really matter since its message is not conveyed through dialogue. It might well have been made in the silent era, and been just as powerful. I must have seen it in about 1977, and it has been unforgettable.
If there is a flaw to this story, which doesn't affect its quality, it is that Pomme (or Beatrice ?) is surely doomed from the outset. The ending can be seen coming from the very start, and it's thrown into relief by the girl's feisty fellow-hairdresser, Marylene, who bounces back from any reversal.
In any case, impossible to give it less than 10/10.
