Combover: the movie is coming to a TV screen near you. Directors Chris Marino and Tim Fenoglio’s documentary, which takes a light-hearted look at this ancient, yet ineffective method of covering up baldness, now has worldwide distribution.
Their documentary is expected to air on various channels worldwide in 2007 including The Sundance Channel, HBO Latin America (26 countries), XYZ Australia, Fox Europe, Yes TV Israel, Zonevision in the UK.
Shot over 16 months in locations throughout the United States, Combover: the Movie is a documentary that peers into the fascinating world of a classic yet heavily criticized hairstyle: the combover. This film is about more than just a method for disguising male pattern baldness, it’s a humorous chronicling of one man’s fascination with the combover. The cameras followed Chris Marino as he surveyed the country searching for answers and for “extreme combovers.”
As part of the exploration, Chris interviewed various hair loss experts: hair transplant physicians, hair practitioners, even a gentleman who obtained a U.S. patent for the comb-over. In addition the documentary looks into the significance of this hairdo in historical, cultural and religious contexts. One of the oldest references to hair’s importance is in the Old Testament. Elisha, friend of Elijah, was enraged when a youth referred to him as a “bald head.”
One can’t help wonder if perhaps the comb over is worn in response to social pressure to have a full head of hair.
