(aka "Tanin no kao" or "I Have a Stranger's Face" or "Stranger's Face" or "The Face of Another")
directed by
Hiroshi Teshigahara
Japan 1966
Following
Woman of the Dunes [Suna no onna]
in 1964, Hiroshi Teshigahara continued
his collaboration with avant-garde novelist/playwright Kobo Abe and experimental
composer Toru Takemitsu for The Face of Another [Tanin no kao]. Starring
Tatsuya Nakadai (Yojimbo, Kagemusha) as a man "buried alive behind eyes without
a face", the film addresses the illusive nature of identity and the agony of its
absence. |
