Receding Hairline

About This Movie

So, 'Receding Hairline' – it’s a comedy-drama that dives into the many absurd lengths people go to for vanity. Antoine, our guy, is dealing with this very relatable issue about losing his hair, and honestly, the treatments he tries are just hilarious and cringe-worthy at times. The pacing feels a bit off in places, but that odd rhythm actually adds to the charm, capturing that awkwardness people feel around self-image. It’s goofy yet poignant, and the practical effects used during some of his treatment mishaps are pretty creative. The performances are solid too; you can really feel Antoine's struggle and desperation, which gives it a unique blend of lightheartedness and depth.

This film has had a bit of a murky release history, with various formats floating around but not a lot of solid collector editions. There are some rare bootlegs that pop up, appealing to those who appreciate the offbeat nature of the story. Interest is growing slowly, particularly among collectors who enjoy films that tackle unconventional themes in a unique way, making it somewhat of a hidden gem in the indie circuit.
