animation film BLUEBEARD

It seems that a piece of someone’s beard is kept in the dark labyrinth of a monastery. The beard is blue, sky-blue to be exact. Why must it remain hidden? Is it a relic of Bluebeard, the wife-murderer who had such great power of attraction? Is it still dangerous? Or attractive? This animation film is an interpretation of the fairy tale ‘Bluebeard’ as described by Clarissa Pinkola Estés in her book ‘Women Who Run With the Wolves’. The forbidden door in Bluebeard’s castle could only be opened by a bloody key. What secret was kept hidden, locked behind that door? Does Bluebeard live in his dark castle…or in our mind?
