The Face You Deserve
This Is Cinema Now: 21st Century Debuts
July 19 - 31, 2019
Portuguese fabulist Miguel Gomes explores the bitter realities of adulthood and the eternal wonder of youth in this imaginatively loopy, anything-goes take on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Though he first came to international attention for his third feature Tabu, Portuguese fabulist Miguel Gomes’s debut is as deliriously imaginative and captivatingly strange as anything he’s concocted since. A loopy, anything-goes take on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Face You Deserve unfolds in two equally oddball parts: the first an absurdist musical in which a self-absorbed sad sack celebrates a very unhappy 30th birthday, the second a magical-realist fairy tale involving seven eccentric men living together in a state of suspended childhood. As the two tales wind together, what emerges is a playful, poignant, and mysterious reflection on the bitter realities of adulthood and the eternal wonder of youth.
