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