Sinopses(1)
An anonymous young man enters a pristine white bathroom and begins shaving to the tune of Bunny Berigan's 1939 recording of "I Can't Get Started". The man shaves slowly and methodically, stoically piercing through his skin and bloodying his surroundings. (Criterion)
Críticas (3)
Durante cinco minutos, observamos um homem a barbear-se e a fazer cada vez mais cortes com uma lâmina de barbear. Até ao sangue. O blues relaxante toca ao fundo e você não sabe se deve rir ou sentir enjoo. O típico humor negro, amargamente cínico de Martin Scorsese. Pessoalmente, prefiro o semelhante, mas mais sufocante, The Amputee de David Lynch.

Strange short from Martin Scorsese, after which you avoid taking a shave for a few days. A poignant flick.

It's not a great election that I saw on the day of the election, but even though I didn't expect anything from this movie (just like from the elections), it got to me. Of course, it's not the absolute golden grail of short film, but Martin Scorsese shows here a sense of black humor and exaggeration, a sense for shots and the choice of music. It may be said that watching a guy shaving is nothing special, but this is something that simply succeeded. It fits perfectly for someone like me who enjoys horror movies.
