Aspiring actor Edward (Sebastian Stan) 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, in filmmaker Aaron Schimberg’s darkly funny New York noir.
This darkly funny and surreal thriller is another brilliant collaboration between writer-director Aaron Schimberg and actor Adam Pearson (Under the Skin) following 2019’s Chained for Life, with shades of David Lynch and Charlie Kaufman whilst being wholly unique.
A Different Man was nominated for the Golden Bear at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival and Sebastian Stan won the Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance. Co-starring Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World).
