Face Of Another R2 (Uk Import) - Teshigahara, Hiroshi
Releasedatum: 21 maart 2005
Hiroshi Teshigahara's The Face of Another is one of cinema's most haunting explorations of identity. A man (Tatsuya Nakadai) facially disfigured in a laboratory fire persuades his doctor to fashion him a lifelike mask modelled on a complete stranger - totally different from his own face. Shortly after the mask is made, he successfull seduces his own wife (Machiko Kyo) but becomes angry at her falling for a handsome stranger. When confronted, she claims she knew it was him all along, but his worries about his looks, and the way the mask seems to influence his identity, lead him to question everything...
