A staggering work of existential science fiction, “The Face of Another” dissects identity with the sure hand of a surgeon.
Featuring an introduction by Dr. Laura Lee, Associate Professor of Japanese Cinema and presented to you by the FSU Faculty Ciné-Social!
Following an accident that disfigures his face, Okuyama becomes isolated from friends and family. His psychiatrist convinces him to wear a prosthetic mask so he can resume a normal life, yet Okuyama’s identity continues to unravel. The Face of Another is both a haunting portrait of contemporary alienation and a staggeringly beautiful piece of modernist film making.
