Adapted from the novel of the same name by Johan Daisne, the film follows a middle-aged teacher who leaves his town after his beloved young student moves to another city. As he begins a new life as a civil servant, memories of the past and repressed desires open a deep fissure in his mind.
Regarded as the founding work of modern Belgian cinema, The Man Who Had His Hair Cut Short blends the every day with the subconscious, taking viewers on a journey between dream and reality. Spaces become abstract, time bends, and the narrative unravels in tandem with the character’s inner voice.
The film was restored by the Royal Film Archive of Belgium (CINEMATEK) with the support of A Season of Classic Films.
The New Year is more than just a date change on the calendar. It often marks a turning point where the weight of past experiences is felt or the uncertainty of the future is faced. This season, Pera Film highlights films that delve into themes of hope, regret, nostalgia, and new beginnings.
