Soon after being fitted for the mask, he attempts to seduce his wife and succeeds. But his wife claims she was aware all along who he was and believed that both were just masquerading together as men and women do in different ways. Strangely enough, his personality seemingly begins to change after he puts on the mask as if the mask has influenced his personality. His new identity does not enable him to reintegrate into society after all. A subplot is inserted in fragments. A good-natured young woman, the right side of whose face is disfigured, has been hurt by others’ inquisitive eyes and insults, and has been shunned by men. She asks her older brother, the only man who understands her pain and solitude, to make love to her, hiding from him the intent of killing herself afterwards.
Plot: A businessman with a disfigured face obtains a lifelike mask from his doctor, but the mask starts altering his personality.

Lyrically Creepy…
movie about self perception and the bond between the mind and the body…soundtrak really set the mood for the increasing horror in the story line. Nakadai downplays his role to give an overall flawless performance. Watch for some really good lines which will undoubtedly force the viewer to start thinking right away which may distract from the plot (but hey, it’s an artsy masterpiece right?)…There is a lot of experimentation in the cinematography such as a door which opens and reveals a cluster of hair in ocean tides…this effect serves to foreshadow the action but may in the view of modern audiences comes across as trying TOO hard to be an art film. I left the movie still trying to link the two parallel story lines in the film and you may too…but don’t worry you get two stories for the price of one…DO NOT watch this movie in the dark even though there is nothing VISUALLY terrifying it is still a great horror film…
