The Face of Another

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?



Please post something drink-related and join us at the T Stands for Tuesday blogger gathering hosted by Bleubeard and Elizabeth.

  2. Hmm. How was his new face? I wonder if they made it really different from his original. Have a great T day.

  3. I 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.

    1. I'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.

  15. Interesting 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.
    Happy belated T-Day,
    Hugs,
