LA, RE, MI, LA

About This Movie

So, LA, RE, MI, LA is this quirky little gem from '79 that really stands out in the comedy/music genre. Carles Santos, a true performer, delivers this fascinating experience where he embodies 74 different characters, all while playing the notes of the title over and over. It creates a sort of whimsical and absurd atmosphere, with pacing that feels both frenetic and oddly meditative at times. The practical effects and minimal set design really let Santos take center stage, showcasing his versatility. You get a sense of playful experimentation, and it’s interesting how the music ties into his performance, almost like a commentary on identity and self-expression through art. It’s definitely not your typical film, but that’s what makes it noteworthy.

LA, RE, MI, LA has a niche appeal among collectors, mainly due to its unique concept and the scarcity of original formats. As of now, it seems to have limited home media releases, which might intrigue those on the hunt for lesser-known titles. Interest can vary, but the film's eclectic charm and the performance by Santos ensure it holds a certain cult status among avid collectors.
