The Face of Another is a 1966 award-winning Japanese film based on the 1964 Kobe Abe book. The story follows an engineer, whose face is severely burnt in a work-related accident and who is given a new face in the form of a lifelike mask.
Here's a screenshot from fairly early in the film. See the teapot?

...your face is such an important part of you!
ReplyDeleteHmm. How was his new face? I wonder if they made it really different from his original. Have a great T day.
ReplyDeleteI loved the teapot. It looked like how I envision 1966. I also wonder what his face looked like. Thanks for sharing the teapot and video with us for T this Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteinteresting movie my husband used to watch the very old Japanese movies Happy T

ReplyDeleteKobo Abe writes some really creepy novels! I don't think I would want to see this one.

Oh no- this one would give me nightmares!!I'll focus on the retro teapot thank you:) Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteSo the woman is holding the teapot but is that also a coffee pot on the table, that silver looking thing? I too, wonder what his new face looked like. Elle xx
ReplyDeleteI think that's an electric kettle, but I'm not sure.
DeleteI spotted the teapot!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Yes, I see the teapot. I had never heard of this film. Sounds interesting. Japanese? How did you find that? Always interesting posts. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteI've forgotten now how I came across it. I have a lot of movies bookmarked to watch but don't keep track of how I came across them.
DeleteInteresting movie and it's so sad to be injured like this! The teapot design with that handle is amazing - love it 😁. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteI watched a bit of it and it was super scary and very deep, but looked very good! Love the teapot screenshot!
ReplyDeleteSorry cannot watch it. Genes. I´d pass out. Blood I can see, but no burns.
ReplyDeleteInteresting concept. When I was young I used to like the german writer Konsalik. One of his books written in the sixties (A Face Given) was about a man who receives a new face after losing it in WWII. I have never forgotten it.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated T-Day,
Hugs,

Ooh! Face changing - can I skip this one please?!!! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
