Kékszakállú (English: Bluebeard) is a 2016 Argentine drama film written and directed by Gastón Solnicki. It was screened in the Orizzonti section at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival. It is Solnicki's first narrative feature, after his previous documentary films Süden and Papirosen.
The film chronicles the coming-of-age of a group of female teenagers in Argentina, not quite knowing what to do with their future. It is only very loosely inspired by Bluebeard's Castle, the Hungarian one-act opera by Béla Bartók and Béla Balázs. Solnicki said that he wanted to attain the "atmosphere and horror" of the original opera, yet with his own characters.
