Euronews Culture's Film of the Week: 'Clayface' – Gloopy, gruesome, but not quite great

The procedure is causing troubling physical changes. Are you okay? What's happening to me? You have to learn to control it. I know the look, you know, his face is completely destroyed and he's completely attacked. But beyond that, his identity is taken from him and I think that's something that's a lot deeper than just the look for five minutes. Like, when you are up against ropes, what are you willing to do to get your life back? And it's heartbreaking. This film used to be called, or I remember on the script anyway, it was called Face, Tragedy in Three Acts. And it was like quite Shakespearean in how tragic his story is. But it manages to be also extremely entertaining. Like I had so much fun watching it and I can't wait to watch it tonight with a full audience. I think you've got such a long, rich history to tap into. and also certainly I felt really privileged and lucky to be a part of a long lineage of illustrators and writers that have, you know, touched on this character in this world. Face has existed since 1940. That predates both you and I. That's pretty cool. Matt Hagen can change his face. Is that so bad? I have no idea who you are anymore.
