Physiognomy: Measuring a Person’s Character

Physiognomy’s history is marked by points in time that presented this pseudo-science as more than a mere quackery practiced by fortune tellers and mystics. It is thought that by dividing one’s facial structure into thirds, certain personality traits can be assumed.

In this excerpt from the film by Agnieaza Holland titled, Europa Europa we see the pressure such implication imparts upon the victims of physiognomical practice.
