Summary: Lord Bluebeard is looking for a woman to become his eighth wife, as his first seven wives have all passed away. His great wealth persuades one father to give his daughter's hand to him. She reluctantly marries him, and after a lavish wedding feast she begins her new life in his castle. One day as Bluebeard is going away on a journey, he warns his wife never to go into a certain room. When her curiosity finally gets the best of her, she realizes that she has placed herself in great danger. (imdb)
A totally surprising & different style of film than I was expecting from Méliès, it's a horror story! A pretty weak first half drags the film down but the last couple of minutes are brilliant & I love how he peppers the film with all his different camera-tricks, utilising them to their fullest to tell the tale in an interesting way.
Really quite impressive. Méliès is possibly the best of the early cinema directors and he show why here, blending his trademark visual trickery with an amusing and well told story.
