Description

A formerly successful filmmaker, Imari Daisaku, can’t get any contracts after his works are criticized for being "too fantastic" for a modern, rational audience, but one group is impressed by his "fantastic" work - vampires. A clan of vampires approach him to encourage him to keep pursuing the fantastic, and to help him give him the mysterios I.L, a woman who can, by sleeping briefly in her coffin, can transform into any form and imitate anyone. With no future in the film business Imari Daisaku starts hiring I.L out to wealthy international buyers who need to have someone imitated, but their reasons are usually far from good.

Texte du rabat
I.L: derrière ces curieuses initiales se cache peut-être une déesse, une chimère ou une simple poupée, qui peut savoir … I.L est une femme caméléon, qui prend le visage des absents, des morts, ou de l’être aimé. Le jeune cinéaste Daisaku fait sa connaissance dans la demeure du Comte Alucard – un nom qui, lu à l’envers, nous est très familier – où elle repose, enfermée dans un cercueil. Ange de beauté, I.L devient, par son don de métamorphose, l’actrice dont Daisaku a toujours rêvé pour mettre en scène … le réel. Elle accomplit ainsi, à la demande, la dernière requête d’un condamné à mort, revêt pour une malade l’apparence de l’amant d’autrefois, joue un tour à l’époux davantage intéressé par les papillons que par sa femme, ou devient le pire cauchemar d’un ancien soldat du Vietnam. A travers ce conte fantastique, le „Dieu du manga“ Osamu Tezuka revisite des thèmes universels avec une imagination libérée de toute contrainte: I.L parle de vie, de mort, d’amour, de trahison et de haine, révélés lorsque chaque personnage se trouve confronté à ses fantasmes, ses lâchetés ou ses peurs. Une incroyable exploration de la nature humaine.
Testo della bandella:
I.L: La ragazza dai mille volti è una favola per adulti, con protagonista una donna misteriosa con una sconcertante abilità: grazie a un antico baule, è in grado di trasformarsi in qualunque persona, non importa il sesso o età. Stregato da questa sua capacità, un famoso regista caduto in disgrazia decide di sfruttarla per accontentare le richieste di ricchi clienti pronti a tutto per farsi “sostituire” in situazioni ambigue o pericolose. Un’opera inedita in Italia tutta da scoprire tra fantasy e dolente critica sociale.
