"Sawn-off Scarface - Scarface bach"
Sawn-off Scarface is a duet and a (semi) ironic tribute to Scarface, Brian de Palma's notorious 1983 film classic, starring Al Pacino.
Performed to a short, tough synopsis of the plot, and on something close to a sticky, wet nightclub floor, it reduces nearly three hours of film action to twelve minutes.
A no-technology attempt on filmic effects and the glamour, cynicism and homoerotics of the gangster genre.
