FACES OF DEATH

One of the most banned, censored, controversial and notorious films ever made, FACES OF DEATH changed cinema forever. A surprise home-video blockbuster that spawned three sequels, this key Seventies riff on the “Mondo” film was immediately met with praise and condemnation along with legions of fans and hordes of protestors. Skillfully combining grueling imagery depicting the stark reality of mortality, this boundary-shattering docudrama blends cleverly staged and ultra-gory re-enactments of murders, executions and fates more too horrible to imagine.
