Packy Lee, Gerard McCabe, and Nathan Hughes in Pretty Face (2005)

An opera film which explores the human consequences of incarceration and the effects of institutionalization on its agents and victims, at a pitch of passion, which is almost hyper-real.An opera film which explores the human consequences of incarceration and the effects of institutionalization on its agents and victims, at a pitch of passion, which is almost hyper-real.An opera film which explores the human consequences of incarceration and the effects of institutionalization on its agents and victims, at a pitch of passion, which is almost hyper-real.

Fabulous

Yes, well i saw this film whilst visiting Australia and came across a film festival called Queer-space. This was a featured film there. I was very pleasantly surprised the talent was more professional than that of which you would expect from Northern Ireland. The main role 'Paul' played by Nathan Hughes was executed with a subtle genius. A very captivating performance given that it was a short film. The idea of a prison Opera took away from the typical nature of the genre i.e. being labelled as a Gay movie. Wonderful cast all round really, deeply moving piece of modern film, verging on Art.

I would be very surprised if i didn't see Mr Hughes on the big screen soon in a feature. #P.s Check out the Linnet (2006) Notasuch films for similar Fantastic performance(s)

Trivia
Nordisk created two prints for the film with their innovative film transfer machine Cinevator, in Norway. Several other Northern Irish short films have now employed this method.
