Summary

The Big Shave

The Big Shave

The Big Shave is a 1967 six-minute body horror short film written and directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Peter Bernuth. It is also known as Viet ’67.



Plot

Peter Bernuth stars as the recipient of the title shave, repeatedly shaving away hair, then skin, in an increasingly bloody and graphic bathroom scene.

Prompted by the film’s alternative title, 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.
