Golden Braid is a 1991 Australian film about a man who masturbates with a braid of old hair he finds in an antique cupboard, directed by Paul Cox. Cox later called it "quite a funny film, but very few people get it."[2][3]
It was entirely funded by the Australian Film Commission.[1]
Plot
Bernard is a clockmaker who is having an affair with Terese, a Salvation Army worker married to Joseph. He muses about the emotional connections humans form with antiques. He then finds a golden braid of a woman's hair in an 18th-century cabinet and becomes obsessed with it. While becoming more distant from Terese, Bernard secretly strokes the hair, whispers to it and ultimately masturbates by putting the hair around his penis. Eventually, he is able to move on and reconcile with Terese.
