The Hairdresser

About This Movie

The Hairdresser (1984) offers a quirky blend of comedy and mistaken identity, wrapped in a somewhat surreal atmosphere. You've got Victor, a struggling father of seven, and his twin brother Michel, a flamboyant hairdresser who’s dabbled in high society. The film plays with themes of duality and social class, and it’s interesting how their lives have diverged yet remain so intertwined. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that adds to its charm, I think. Practical effects are minimal, leaning more on the performances, which can be hit or miss but definitely add to the film's unique appeal. It’s fascinating how the script navigates identity and societal expectations, making for some genuinely funny moments amidst the chaos.
