Synopsis
The Face of an Angel (2014) is a British drama-thriller directed by Michael Winterbottom that you can watch online on iFILM, starring Daniel Brühl, Kate Beckinsale, and Cara Delevingne. The film draws on a real-life murder case that convulsed Italy and sent the global press into a frenzy.
A young filmmaker arrives in Siena to develop a movie based on the killing. He teams up with American journalist Simone Ford, whose controversial book on the case made her both famous and reviled. The city is crawling with cameras, speculation runs unchecked, and the actual victim has been all but erased by the machinery of the story. As the director digs deeper, the line between telling the truth and profiting from someone's death starts to dissolve.
Winterbottom turns the crime into a backdrop for something harder to answer — a film about the ethics of turning real tragedy into entertainment. Brühl carries it with the kind of quiet unease that fits the subject perfectly. Stream The Face of an Angel (2014) online on iFILM.
