Nice Face
Sun, Apr 8, 201843 mins
Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) suffocates under the domestic weight of her suburban marriage and the sterile, male-dominated hierarchy of British intelligence. Her obsession with female violence is a desperate, sublimated desire for self-actualization. When a Russian politician is executed in Vienna, Eve recognizes the artistry of the kill, identifying a kindred, transgressive spirit in the anonymous executioner. Across the Channel, Villanelle (Jodie Comer) exists as a creature of pure, unmediated impulse, treating slaughter as a high-stakes performance piece designed to elicit a reaction from a stagnant world. As Eve tracking mechanisms tighten, Villanelle becomes aware of her hunter. The administrative failure to protect a vital witness costs Eve her official career but gains her an invitation into a black-ops unit, transforming a professional pursuit into an intimate, volatile dance of mutual fascination.
