本片是为一个长达一周的反战示威而拍的,该示威的主题是“愤怒的艺术家反对战争”。当时,关于“越战”的尖锐争论正在把美国人分成两个阵营,而我们可以把这部影片看做是斯科塞斯的政治表态。全片长6分钟,用恐怖的画面表现了一个年轻人如何对自己的脸进行摧残。该片参加了1968年在比利时举办的雅克·勒杜实验电影节(Jacques Ledoux’s 1968 Festival of Experimental Cinema),并且获得了“金色时光奖”(Le Prix de L’Age d’Or)。拍摄该片所用的10卷爱克发彩色胶片系由比利时电影艺术馆赞助。由斯科塞斯自编自导的《剃须记》是一个关于自我毁灭的血腥寓言。
