We all know the stereotype of the chatty hairdresser, but before you think of the "where you going on your holidays?" cliché, come and see this superb documentary about some real barbers in Quebec, Canada, often of Italian or Greek origin. These are the old-school barbers, the original mafiosa of the hirsute whose favourite tool of the trade is that good old-fashioned pomade. Their winning charm and lyricism come across so naturally in this immensely enjoyable and insightful film that you will feel as if you're sitting right there in the chair.
