Bluebeard adaptations

My favorites, there aren’t enough adaptations of this story...

--- Foreword

The story is a mystery and, maybe, gothic romance (if I’m not wrong with the term).

Could be changed for dark/mystery romance where the lord is cursed and have a nice ending. I love fix-its.

I don’t mean wreck the story, by any means. I mean more like Snow queen/ Frozen adaptation. (Not making a case here I suppose. I mean different enough but not too different).

I don’t mean Disney but some Beauty-and-the-Beast-esque with a bit of Phantom of the Opera in there. Medieval, gothic and not modernized like how Dracula/vampires was modernized.

--- The Films

Now for the film adaptations which I recommend :

Sorry, they’re all in French. But if you get the chance, look them up.

- La barbe-bleue 1986 (Mystery, romance, jealousy)

-Barbe bleue 1951 (Comedy)

-Barbe-bleue 2008 (Nice medieval set, reminds me of Hammer films, has a funny pair of little girls, the bride is in early teens, not really romance)
