The film, which has been described as extraordinary, invites viewers to discover something that is as fascinating as it is disturbing. At the center of the story is Michel, a man whose life and identity are a seemingly endless game of masks and roles. Whether as a charmer, an artist or a criminal, Michel seems to master every role perfectly, while his true personality remains in the dark. The question of who Michel really is captivates not only the characters in his world, but also the audience. Director Sonia Kronlund takes the audience on a journey that oscillates between documentary and fiction. With precise imagery and a flair for capturing intimate moments, she manages to blur the lines between staging and reality. The film not only tells the story of an extraordinary life, but also sheds light on the mechanisms of identity and self-staging in today's society. THE MAN WITH A THOUSAND FACES (French: L'HOMME AUX MILLE VISAGES) is a film that both captivates and provokes thought. It shows how complex and versatile human beings can be and in doing so questions the concepts of authenticity and deception. It is an intense work that does not let go of its viewers and has a lasting effect.
