Erotic male fantasizing -- and exceptionally lazy fantasizing at that -- about the twelve-year-old boy who, with a busty redhead as his paragon, makes up his mind he's going to marry a hairdresser, and in late middle age does just that. (Does, as far as we can tell, virtually nothing else.) The means of expressing smittenness -- smeary light, slow-motion, a circling camera, an enigmatic yet encouraging smile on the face of the object of affection -- are limited in the extreme. And even the haircuts don't come close in sensuousness (or informativeness) to the ordinary and unerotic one that opens André Delvaux's The Man Who Had His Hair Cut Short. With Jean Rochefort and Anna Galiena; directed by Patrice Leconte. (1991) — Duncan Shepherd
