La Grimace is a quirky little gem from '66 that dives into the world of facial expressions with a lighthearted twist. The pacing is relaxed, almost like watching two friends just hanging out, which adds to its charm. The comedy feels very much rooted in the physical, with a lot of emphasis on the practical effects of their contorted faces. It's fascinating how they turn something as simple as making silly faces into a conversation about expression itself. The performances are rather charming, though not over the top, giving it this endearing quality that might just make you chuckle at the absurdity of it all.
La Grimace hasn't seen much reissue over the years, which adds to its allure for collectors. Original prints can be quite elusive, making it a noteworthy find for those who appreciate rare comedies from the 1960s. The film's unpolished charm and distinct humor have caught the eye of niche collectors who enjoy exploring the lesser-known corners of cinema history.
