The Face of Another

The Face of Another (1966) – It’s hard to know what to say about this one: Teshigahara does a lot of interesting things visually and the film raises interesting questions about the nature of identity, although it tends toward talkiness and can be over the top (and in that respect, it may not fully engage the viewer), and the plot lollygags along to a conclusion that may lack both payoff and purpose for the viewer. 5
