Description
Faces In Things: Haunted phones; unforgettable sandwiches; celebrity cults; warrior ghosts; consumer greed; unearthly landscapes; urban living; urbane dating; inspirational perfume; a captivating portrait; man overboard; buggy implants; a grieving heart; a paean to a closed-down restaurant; an unhinged man evoking a murdered woman’s past; a tantalisingly familiar jazz pianist revealing secrets of the Bronx; and the futile search for a perfect weekend.
