Face (2000 Film)
is a 2000 Japanese film directed by Junji Sakamoto. At the 24th Japan Academy Prize, it won one award, and received four other nominations. Plot Sullen and withdrawn "ugly" elder sister Masako toils endlessly with mending chores in her widowed mother's dry cleaning shop, seething with hatred for her flashy younger sister Yukari, who visits only for free laundry service. When mother dies, and Yukari persists in her abuse, Masako cracks and strangles her. She flees, and takes a number of identities and odd jobs, meeting people as she goes. To her surprise, Masako finds people in general to be kind and helpful (although she's sexually abused more than once), and she blossoms as a personality, even to the extent of becoming a popularly liked bar hostess like her murdered sister.

Its name in English is ''ess'' (pronounced ), plural ''esses''. History Origin Northwest Semitic šîn represented a voiceless postalveolar fricative (as in 'ip'). It originated most likely as a pictogram of a tooth () and represented the phoneme via the acrophonic principle. Ancient Greek did not have a phoneme, so the derived Greek letter sigma () came to represent the voiceless alveolar sibilant .
