Sinopsis(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)

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. ()
Durante cinco minutos observas a un tipo afeitándose y cortándose cada vez más con una cuchilla de afeitar. En la sangre. Acompañado de un blues relajado y uno no sabe si reírse o sentir náuseas. Típico humor negro, picantemente cínico de Martin Scorsese. Personalmente, prefiero la película The Amputee de David Lynch que es similar pero más densa. ()
Strange short from Martin Scorsese, after which you avoid taking a shave for a few days. A poignant flick. ()
