Jill Gevargizian's feature film premiere, adapting her own short film, is an intimate look at the sick psyche of a woman armed with his hairdressing scissors -an excellent Najarra Townsend-.
I've always had a fascination with how easily the world tends to open up to complete strangers simply because they do ordinary jobs in front of the public. The secrets that a hairdresser, or a waiter, or the taxi driver will know ... in this film we have an uncomfortable truth, because perhaps that stylist, waiter or taxi driver are nothing more than strange creatures that live through others (It is an exaggeration of a wandering mind, do not take it as a statement if they are from some guild of the style)
So we have a kind of Apache of the 21st century with many traumas, to which the script has not wanted to respond or at least with absolute certainties and that is good. His sweet and shy manner and pastel dresses are the counterpoint to his true SELF (the overrated Freud would drool over a case like this) who yearns to live other lives and does not hesitate to kill.
As a signature, let's say the stylist wants to be the bride at the wedding, the child at the christening, and the dead at the funeral.
And look at the short, it's worth it.
