Bluebeard by Catherine Breillat on DVD

Bluebeard, the film by Catherine Breillat that received much press on the indie film circuit as well as a few entries on this blog, is now available on DVD in the U.S.  It is also available in Canada.  I'm not seeing it listed in the UK yet.

Here is the trailer. Please remember that this is Bluebeard, a favorite of Angela Carter and horror enthusiasts, a fairy tale debated as a fairy tale by many who consider it much less magical and too scary for children.

The reviews overall have been laudatory.  I have not seen the film myself, but am interested in Breillat's interpretation of such a fascinating tale.



My past entries on it are at La barbe bleu [Bluebeard] directed by Catherine Breillat (2009) and More about La barbe bleu and Q&A with Bluebeard's Catherine Breillat.

Finally, thanks to Eric C. for the heads up on this one.  Somehow it escaped all my alerts although it was released on DVD a few weeks ago.
