!!!VIRUS BIO PREMIERE!!!
Juraj Herz's film THE CREMATOR has been described in many ways - as surrealist-inspired horror, as expressionist fantasy, as a dark and disturbing tale of terror. This brilliantly chilling film, a mix of Dr Strangelove and Repulsion, is set in Prague during the Nazi occupation. It tells the story of Karl Kopfrkingl (Rudolf Hrušínský), a professional cremator, for whom the political climate allows free rein to his increasingly deranged impulses for the 'salvation of the world'. 1968/95 min. English subt.

Hiroshi Teshigahara's THE FACE OF ANOTHER is one of cinema's most haunting explorations of identity. A man (Tatsuya Nakadai) facially disfigured in a laboratory fire persuades his doctor to fashion him a lifelike mask modelled on a complete stranger - totally different from his own face. Shortly after the mask is made, he successful seduces his own wife (Machiko Kyo) but becomes angry at her falling for a handsome stranger. When confronted, she claims she knew it was him all along, but his worries about his looks, and the way the mask seems to influence his identity, lead him to question everything. 1966/124 min. English subt.
