The Barbershop

A young man in a barbershop. A not so ordinary barber. A harcut who is not the expected one by client. And his refuse to pay creates more than a cold answer from barber.

A provocative film , for its end, first, for the final impressions, for the perspective of ordinary situation and for good acting.

In short, one of special short films, admirable crafted, offering more than a good story but echoes of old parables in which the touch of a sort of magic works impecable.

A film about rules and power and hidden realities, easy to ignore but driving, in precise manner , lives.

So, just provocative to a kind of experience.

I would categorize this short 5-minute film as horror-comedy rather than action-comedy-drama. From a horror-comedy perspective, the story is exceptionally well-executed. While it revolves around a guy's long-overdue haircut gone wrong, it also makes us question what's real and what's not. The cinematography and acting in The Barbershop are excellent, with the older gentleman delivering a standout performance as the strange barber. The story blends humor with several unexpected twists that catch you completely off guard. In my opinion, this short film is undoubtedly one of the better ones I've seen in its category.

For a short indie film, the quality (lighting, acting, set, etc.) are all very up to parr and pleasing to see. The way the man has a sudden change of mind during his psychological episode is very realistic, and the acting in general is.

I also think there's real talent when you are the director and actor in the same film, from my experience, that's not an easy thing to do

Although I know I should've expected this from a short film, because, well, it's short, I don't think we really get introduced to the characters (especially Julian) enough to care during his episode.

Overall, A very nice short film with a young director for a clear passion for filmmaking.
