Jacek’s life is thrown wildly off course by a terrible work accident that leaves him completely disfigured. Eagerly followed by the Polish media, he becomes the first person in the country to receive a face transplant. Though he may be celebrated as a national hero and martyr, he no longer recognizes himself in the mirror.
As free-wheeling as a Preston Sturges farce, the handsome-looking Mug feels scattershot at times but it does convey the sense of a Poland racing towards hell in a hand cart.
Mug is a strange, engaging film – well and potently acted and directed, a drama that puts you inside its extended community with a mix of robust realism and a streak of fantasy comedy.
