Blow Dry (US Version) DVD Region 1

The British Hairdressing Championship is coming to the small Yorkshire town of Keighley. The Mayor (Warren Clarke) is ecstatic--but initially the townspeople are underwhelmed. The exotic models and their even more exotic hairdressers arrive--among them reigning champion, Ray Robertson (Bill Nighy). The Mayor is disappointed when there is no local entry, especially since Keighley is the hometown of ex-champion, Phil Allen (Alan Rickman). But, Phil stopped competing when his model, Sandra (Rachel Griffiths), ran off with his wife, Shelley (Natasha Richardson). Shelley has cancer, and discovering it is terminal, she tries to reunite her family--Phil, their son Brian (Josh Hartnett), and Sandra--by entering the competition. Phil refuses. However, needled by the confident Ray, Brian enters on behalf of the family. Soon, they are cutting hair together again. Director Paddy Breathnach maintains the delicate balance between the pathos of Shelley's illness and the breathtaking flamboyance of the hairdressing competition, as it goes from outrageous camp to gorgeous fulfillment. Alan Rickman is splendid--especially when the phlegmatic Phil returns to competition with flashing scissors and tattooed feet. Natasha Richardson is touching as she fights to regain her family. And Rachel Griffiths gives a powerful performance, apparently in support, until she becomes the family's fabulous golden angel.

"...[Breathnach] pulls off some great character moments..." - Kevin, Harley (Total Film Critic), Total Film, 04/01/2001

"...[Cook] plays well opposite the always thoughtful and subtle Harnett..." - Robert, Koehler (Variety Critic), Variety, 03/12/2001

"...BLOW DRY scores with shrewdly observed detail, a good line in laconic northern humour...and a strong cast getting their teeth into well-drawn characters..." - Philip, Kemp (Sight And Sound Critic), Sight and Sound, 04/01/2001
