本片是为一个长达一周的反战示威而拍的,该示威的主题是“愤怒的艺术家反对战争”。当时,关于“越战”的尖锐争论正在把美国人分成两个阵营,而我们可以把这部影片看做是斯科塞斯的政治表态。全片长6分钟,用恐怖的画面表现了一个年轻人如何对自己的脸进行摧残。该片参加了1968年在比利时举办的雅克·勒杜实验电影节(Jacques Ledoux’s 1968 Festival of Experimental Cinema),并且获得了“金色时光奖”(Le Prix de L’Age d’Or)。拍摄该片所用的10卷爱克发彩色胶片系由比利时电影艺术馆赞助。由斯科塞斯自编自导的《剃须记》是一个关于自我毁灭的血腥寓言。
Kosim became rich after finding gold in the river in the village of Hirupbagja. He soon marries Sumi and lives a prosperous life as a landlord. When their child, Didi, was born, his soul was possessed by Albert Dominique's spirit, which was thirsty for blood and terrorized the villagers. Kosim tries to cover up this fact because he is currently running for the new Village Head. He must be able to beat Soleh, who has already won the sympathy of the villagers. But when the spirit threatens his family's life, Kosim decides to free Didi from the influence of Albert Dominique. To do this, Kosim must confront Dorman, a black sorcerer who wants to avenge his great-grandfather on the people who have destroyed his life.
A heartbroken man returns to the home he shared with his ex-boyfriend, where visceral memories force him to confront the fissures that led to their parting: when the 'casual threesome' they planned evolved into something more.
The movie will feature the family of Mohanlal's character Georgekutty and so they will be reprising their roles. The rest of the cast though will change, and we are sorting out the other aspects including casting right now.
