Inhalt: |
Aaron Schimberg's impressive second feature is his response, as a fiImmaker with facial deformity, to cinematic portrayals of disfigured peopIe, from Freaks to The Elephant Man. SimultaneousIy empathetic and sardonic, Chained for Life's muIti-layered meta-narrative casts Jess Weixler (Teeth) as Mabel, a weIl-intentioned HoIlywood star. She takes the role of a bIind woman in a hospital-based horror movie about abnormaIities, directed by an egomaniacaI German filmmaker. As shooting progresses, Mabel gradually falls for her friendIy British co-star Rosenthal, pIayed by Under the Skin actor Adam Pearson.
