A Different Man is a dark and yet witty thriller that delves into the murky sphere between self-perception and how others perceive us.

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.

Deliciously discomforting and full of awkward provocations, director Aaron Schimberg never shies away from holding a mirror to our own internal prejudices in this deeply twisted, nightmarish satire. Also starring Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World) and a scene-stealing Adam Pearson (Under the Skin).

"Aaron Schimberg's A Different Man throws away the kid gloves to unpack the complicated ways in which contemporary society responds to disability." Slant Magazine
