SCREEN DAILY
Sovereign is proud to announce the release of the jaw-dropping documentary THE MAN WITH A THOUSAND A FACES in select UK cinemas on 22nd November 2024.
Acclaimed writer and director Sonia Kronlund follows up her amazing Cannes-nominated The Prince of Nothingwood with the story of a seductive conman, THE MAN WITH A THOUSAND FACES, that received its world premiere at this year’s Raindance Film Festival.
In the film, Kronlund deftly peels back the layers of womanising fraudster Ricardo, revealing his cruel guile, dexterous deceit and horrifying lack of compassion, despite passing himself off as cultured, kind and romantic, and variously an engineer, a heroic surgeon or an army doctor. As well as interviewing some of the women he fooled, Kronlund hunts Ricardo down, leading to a nerve-wracking and revealing confrontation… and a revenge, or sorts, for his victims.
Even more outrageous and unbelievable than the gripping Netflix documentary The Tinder Swindler and BAFTA-winning conman classic The Imposter, THE MAN WITH A THOUSAND FACES is a timely and cautionary look at the perils of taking things at face value in a world where nothing is quite what it first appears.
Synopsis: He goes by the names of Alexandre, Ricardo or Daniel. He calls himself a surgeon or an engineer, Argentinian or Brazilian. He lives with four women at the same time, adapting his story and even his personality traits to each one. A first-person investigation, with the help of a private detective, into an imposter with a thousand imaginary lives.
THE MAN WITH A THOUSAND FACES WILL BE RELEASED IN SELECTED UK CINEMAS ON 22ND NOVEMBER 2024
