Bluebeard (2009 film)

Bluebeard French Barbe Bleue is a 2009 French fantasy film directed by Catherine Breillat. It is based on the fairy tale Bluebeard by Charles Perrault.

The second time he must leave, he gives her the keys again, as well as a small gold key, which he says will open a room in the castle, but that she is forbidden to use it and enter the room. That night, she is overcome with curiosity and opens the room to find all of Bluebeards past wives murdered and hanging. While in the room she drops the key, staining it with blood from the floor. Bluebeard returns unexpectedly the next day and discovers the blood upon the key and accuses her of entering the room. He tells her she must die, however she begs for time in the tower to make her peace with God. Bluebeard allows this, and through several other delays and distractions, she buys herself time, until two musketeers arrive and apparently behead Bluebeard.Throughout the film, the scenes switch back and forth between the two girls reading the story, and the two sisters living it. The film closes with the older girl, MarieAnne falling to her death as her little sister Catherine finishes the story despite MarieAnne begging her not to, as it scares her. As Catherine cries, their mother enters the same actress who plays the mother to the two sisters in the story and the scene switches back to MarieCatherine with her hands on Bluebeards head on a platter. ........
