A Different Man
This week we are looking A Different Man, at a film that takes some pretty bold and experimental swings at a subject that many would be uncomfortable with; facial difference and the experiences of the people who live with it. Sebastian Stan takes on the role of Edward; a shy actor who has facial difference (it is not mentioned but it seems to be Neurofibromatosis type 1 or NF1). His life is upended when he tries an experimental procedure and suddenly his face is no longer different. It’s multi layered, complex and very very odd.
The whole team is in for this one and there’s plenty to talk about here. Enjoy!
Synopsis
An aspiring actor undergoes a radical medical procedure to drastically transform his appearance. However, his new dream face quickly turns into a nightmare as he becomes obsessed with reclaiming what was lost.
