Grimaces

About This Movie

Grimaces (1985) is an oddball animated piece that delves into the whims of power and subversion. The king, with his bizarre desire to expose himself, leads us into a world where social hierarchies are flipped upside down. The animation style is a bit rough around the edges, giving it a unique tactile feel, almost like a fever dream in motion. The pacing is erratic, blending moments of chaos with surreal calm, which complements the film’s exploration of fantasy and dominance. It's fascinating how it focuses more on psychological play than on direct confrontation, making you think about the absurdity of power dynamics without ever fully engaging with them. A true gem for collectors who appreciate the unconventional.
