So, 'Joe Shaves His Moustache' is a curious little piece set in post WW2 France. It follows this writer, grappling with his alcoholism and trying to shave his moustache, which sounds trivial but really unravels something deeper. The pacing is deliberate, almost languid, giving you room to breathe and absorb the atmosphere. There’s this blend of comedy and drama that feels very much like a reflection on masculinity and the weight of narcissism. The performances are raw, and you can feel the inner turmoil of the characters without them needing to scream it out loud. Very distinctive in its approach, especially with practical effects that keep things grounded. It’s not your traditional narrative, and I appreciate that.
Focus on character development and internal struggles.Not traditional, use of practical effects enhances realism.Interesting exploration of societal norms post-war.
