The Face of Another

Trailer for The Face of Another (Tanin no Kao, 1966, directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara, QuickTime Video). "...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."
