Haircut

About This Movie

Haircut is a fascinating glimpse into 90's Lisbon, a city that’s both vibrant and chaotic. The film meanders through a single day in the lives of Rita and Paulo, whose desire to defy tradition feels palpable. Their civil marriage isn’t just a formality; it’s a statement against the backdrop of shifting societal norms. The pacing is deliberately slow, reflective—allowing us to soak in the atmosphere. The performances feel intimate, almost like eavesdropping on a couple navigating their way through love and confusion. What makes it distinctive is how it captures the essence of a generation at a crossroads, caught between old customs and modern aspirations, all while showcasing Lisbon's unique charm. There's a raw honesty here, something you don't find in more polished films.
