By the sensationalism of some journalists, Thomas begins to seriously question the motives of those who have both the film and the lawsuit engaged.

The story that is central to “The Face of an Angel” is partly based on actual events surrounding the unsolved murder of British student Meredith Ketcher in Perugia (2007). Her American roommate Emily Knox was one of the people who arrived in the accused bench. Partly because of its handsome appearance and the juicy details of the murder case Knox caught the attention of the tabloids, the smooth segment of the international media community. Although she was initially convicted of the murder, Knox came years after the crime appeal still free. In ‘The Face of an Angel’ hd quality movies for mobile the city of Perugia makes way for significantly camera genius tighter Siena and the names Meredith and Emily replace Elizabeth and Jessica.
In spite of what you might expect, the film’s director Michael Winterbottom no crime story or refined reconstruction of an unsolved homicide. Nor is it a classic film about guilt and penance, but rather a sometimes subtle and sometimes more explicit indictment of the media circus surrounding a notorious murder case. The sensationalism of the press hounds is ultimately trivializes both the crime and the victim. In ‘The Face of an Angel’ we experience the staged murder mainly through the eyes of filmmaker Thomas (Daniel Brühl). Gradually his stay in Italy get the loneliness (which is especially illustrated by the brief conversations he performs via the computer with his daughter) and inner demons hold on the troubled filmmaker. The result is an emotional roller coaster that swings it back and forth between emotions like lust, desire, despair, depression, love and hope. To make matters worse Thomas also lands once more in a creative maze, especially since his ambitions seem to overreach. It is primarily the caring barmaid Melanie (played by supermodel Cara Delevigne) who sets himself up as his muse and savior.
Director Winterbottom shows the boundaries between fiction and reality blur arranged, a choice which is mainly reflected in the sometimes bizarre dreams of Thomas. Although these surrealistic interludes sometimes nice to contribute to evoking an oppressive atmosphere, they are not all equally successful. However beautiful the night and with a great sense of atmosphere filmed rambles through the narrow medieval streets of the northern Italian city of Siena
Nevertheless makes’ The Face of an Angel “are potentially not entirely true. Although Brühl not bad acting, his character is not really interesting enough to carry a film of a half hour, a comment which much more applicable to the journalist Simone played by Kate Beckinsale. The dialogues regularly miss originality and ingenuity, which surely is a serious flaw in a film that aims to explore profound human emotions. It would appear that Winterbottom gradually the film his own mission – namely, the attention shifted from the perpetrator to the victim – a bit lose sight and lapses into a somewhat confused nature outline of a not very interesting director who has struggled to to find the right path. ‘The Face of an Angel’ is a film that is blowing in all directions and sometimes seems mainly to consist of a series of separate raids. Allows the picture is finally almost as fickle as the hoofdprotagonist Thomas.
