I had the pleasure of watching "Disfigura" at the Tampa Bay Underground Film Festival and absolutely fell in love with this film!
If you enjoy a little film-noir, mid-century macabre moralism, you'll love it as much as I do.
First off, the performances were dynamic with a careful attention to Transatlantic accents that fit the genre and tone. (Not an easy feat)! Oh, and, c'mon--brilliant casting of Doug Jones. He was the perfect host.
You'll be immersed in the period through the production design, hair/make-up, costuming and music.
I particularly loved the exploration of mid-century ideas of female physical strength and exercise. It's a powerful commentary tying age-old stereotypes with modern outdated views of women's appearance and identity.
