Horror

A young man walks into a meticulously clean and sterile bathroom and proceeds to shave away hair, then skin, in an increasingly bloody and graphic bathroom scene. Many film critics have interpreted the young man's process of self-mutilation as a metaphor for the self-destructive involvement of the United States in the Vietnam War.

No matter how he shaves, he cannot stop bleed. And the blood goes all to waste!

Rather disturbing short from director Martin Scorsese that acquires new meaning if you look closely.

Understanding "The Big Shave" is understanding the roots of Scorsese's torment and ultimately his genius.
