The Big Shave

The Big Shave (1967) is a short film by Martin Scorsese you can watch online on iFILM. Six minutes. A spotless white bathroom, a young man at the mirror, a razor. What starts as an ordinary morning routine turns increasingly graphic and disturbing. Peter Bernuth is the sole performer.

Made before Taxi Driver and Mean Streets, the film has been read as an anti-war allegory — Scorsese himself subtitled it "Viet '67." Watch The Big Shave (1967) online on iFILM.
