A Different Man
15

In this darkly comic existential thriller, writer-director Aaron Schimberg (Chained for Life) shrewdly explores how self-identity is defined by others.

Thriller • Dark • Edgy

Aspiring actor Edward undergoes a radical medical procedure to drastically transform his appearance. But his new dream face quickly turns into a nightmare, as he loses out on the role he was born to play and becomes obsessed with reclaiming what was lost

Schimberg's second collaboration with Adam Pearson (who was so brilliant previously in Under the Skin) is a sharp and uncomfortable interrogation of physical beauty, made all the more amazing through Sebastian Stan's compelling supporting performance.

“A Different Man is a major work—even as it shapeshifts from Cronenberg to Kaurismäki, developing into new territory at every turn, Schimberg never loses sight of his central questions: What makes us who we are?”
Katarina Docalovich, Paste

“Uniquely uncomfortable, uncomfortably unique... [A Different Man] is a dark, hilarious, and deeply unsettling portrait of a disfigured man that’s also an unflinching mirror of a looks-focused industry.”
Jake Kring-Schreifels, The Film Stage
