The Face of Another

他人の顔

Nippon Retro   ² 

An accident disfigures Okuyama’s (Tatsuya NAKADAI) face. His psychiatrist makes a realistic-looking mask to give him another chance at life. But his new appearance changes his personality in unsettling ways. Avant-garde director Hiroshi TESHIGAHARA’s dark psychological portrait explores how our appearance shapes our identity.
