Is there a canvas greater and more alive with possibility than the human face? I love cinema that trades in grand and expansive landscapes as much as the next person, but there is something truly special about the infinite configurations, and the meanings thereof, that someone’s face can conjure up—and films that love expressions and know how to explore them are often some of my favourites. There was a Twitter prompt making the rounds the other day that explored this topic. It was asking people to think of some expressions from film and TV that they would never forget, and that has to be one of the most fertile prompts of all time. So, so many possible answers whizzed through my head, but the first two that came to mind most strongly in the moment I read the prompt were Sandoval’s (Guillermo Francella) face at the end of his speech in the ‘passion’ scene in The Secret in Their Eyes, and Park Doo-man’s (Song Kang-ho) in Memories of Murder.

I'll never be able forget their face when The Doctor said "I don't want to go". Even worse with the second take of him crying that they filmed but didn't use. David Tennant is truly amazing. https://t.co/3pl3xdmE8m pic.twitter.com/n8v7p3H17C
It’s the magnitude of what she’s just done—her crumpled visage fraught with revulsion, a flash of remorse, & the horrific realisation that this is it; there’s no turning back—that’ll torment me forever.

There is an Indian actor called Mohanlal. Primarily acts in movies made in a language called Malayalam. There is this movie called Kireedam. With a heart wrenching climax. That expression on his face when realises all is lost will remain with me for lifehttps://t.co/1oZh2IH30H
