What happened to the haircut?
I just saw YES again, after seeing it at the Toronto Film Festival nearly a year ago (gasp! you can read my review from that night on imdb.com) and seeing the film again started me wondering about many things... of one which was -- what happened to the haircut scene?
I emailed the friends that I saw the film with last year & they both remember this scene: when He is in Beirut, after the wedding, his friend (the surgeon) cuts his hair in a courtyard in the early morning. It's a most beautiful, eloquent, elegiac scene about friendship, war, masculinity -- the light is incredible.
Did we imagine this scene? Does anyone else remember it? Where did it go? Will it be on the DVD? I love how the intercutting between Havana and Beirut works with the music and the colours and the dancing now -- there's a real sense of echoing and matching He's and She's journeys -- but I LOVED that haircut scene. Gave me shivers.
Small detail in the overall pleasure of making the film's acquaintance again. Those beautiful trees in London!

Haircut Scene
What haircut scene? There never was one, though it sounds beautiful. Strangely, I did take many photographs of people having their hair cut on the streets in Havana, as part of my researches, but they never found their way into the film. Perhaps you tuned into a possible or parallel version of the film, out there in the ether, or did you dream it? But then what of your friends’ memories? The whole thing seems like a Jorge Luis Borges episode.
