RETURN OF THE HAIRCUT (Il Ritorno Di Haircut), Comedy/Supernatural – 5min – Italy
Directed by Nicholas Lombardi
Our hair is part of us, yet we cut them and throw them. What happens to them when they are no longer on our heads? The history of this heartbreaking separation seen from a new perspective: that of the hair – Haircut.
More than just a story book. It’s a gift. A gift of words for quiet hearts, yearning for a voice.
It’s a two-fold achievement: On it’s face: a rhyming, rhythmic rendition of comical events. While underneath: a bold and healthy swim into the strong waves of adolescent emotion.
Diamond is a young girl in a very difficult situation. How would you feel if someone picked you up from your house, from your family, and took you to a different house. Gave you a different family, and told you to go ahead and live the rest of your life?
Written in poetic verse, Diamond and the fosters is five fun stories that synthesize to tell the story of a special little girl, the family who loves her, and their simple, stable secrets to building a new life…together.
“Things that we love, we hold very tight. Keeping them safe with all of our might”
“Although on the lean side, it’s incredibly clever and powerful and the characters practically River Dance off the page. It is fascinating to observe the way that the knock on effects of domestic violence – and the fear of its victims – filtered down through the generations.
The story also has so much magic in it when you think about how close our ties really are, and the whole Five Degrees of Separation thing…”

Audience Comments on MERKUR:
I love the music. The visuals were like a video game.
I was impressed by the imagination of this film. It’s a fascinating film to watch.
My impression of this film is it’s about the imagry of light versus dark. Where everyone is running away from the dark and the unknown. Then one person faces the dark and finds salvation and everyone else embraces that.
