An in-depth look at the loss of identity and fear of the shadows of war, which were the focus of the first two installments. The film more adopted the French left bank, such as chris marker, the setting of the operating room and a lot of abrupt mirror composition reminiscent of European surrealism paintings, as well as a lot of repetition of details, echoes, stories within stories, etc. . The film Shit Kawara tried hard to break through the success of the previous work, The Girl of Sand, and its unique and personal style reached its peak. Unfortunately, this too sharp postmodern style was not understood by Western critics and audiences in the 1960s.
What if you could put on another person's face and live without showing a trace? "The Face of Others" tells the story of a masked man. "It's an experiment." It's more of an adventure. The scary thing is not what you will do with the mask, but what the mask will do to you. Going from narcissism to self-lost is easier than people think. The movie will not give you sensory stimulation like other adventure sci-fi movies, but a metaphysical reflection on "existence" in the mind.
