A Different Man (2024)

The main character in the film is Edward, an actor who suffers from a facial tumour and deformities that make his daily life a challenge, although he tries to cope as best he can .

The young man decides to undergo an experimental treatment to try to solve the problem and regain an appearance that will be easier to live with .

Using this very interesting starting point, director and screenwriter Aaron Shimberg has created a wonderful story that combines the genres of horror with elements of fantasy, drama and comedy, that will make you laugh and cry, as well as having the necessary twists and turns to keep the viewer 's attention without losing the authenticity of the plot.

This good script, awarded in Sitges, should be in the list of the best scripts of the year, as well as its main actor, Sebastian Stan,

The actor plays Edward brilliantly, in a performance that is anything but simple.

The cast is completed by Renata Reinsve, who plays Ingrid, the heroine' s new neighbour , and Adam Pearson as Oswald.

The beautiful Norwegian actress, who starred in the film ‘The Worst Man in the World’, played a supporting role in this film and competed in the official part of "Seminchi “ with ”Corrections ’, in which she is the main protagonist.

The British actor has had very few roles in terms of screen time, and in real life he suffers from neurofibromatosis, the same disease as his character in the film.

The film is quite good in almost all technical and artistic aspects, especially the soundtrack composed by Umberto Smerilli.
