Make A Face

About This Movie

So, 'Make A Face' dives into the psyche of this young woman, a real study of solitude in the bustling heart of Manhattan. The pacing is kind of languid, which really enhances that oppressive feeling of isolation she undergoes. You can sense her mental unraveling through the sparse dialogue and eerie visuals. It’s interesting how the atmosphere builds—feels almost like you're trapped in her mind. Performances are raw, capturing that fragility of her state. There’s this grit that permeates the film, and while not flashy, it has some practical effects that add to its unsettling tone. Worth noting is how it reflects the anxieties of urban living in the early '70s, making it a curious relic of its time.

This film hasn't seen many re-releases, making it somewhat scarce in collector circles. It's mostly available in VHS format, with the occasional DVD popping up, but nothing too consistent. Its unique exploration of isolation resonates with collectors who appreciate psychological depth and gritty, real-life themes, though it often flies under the radar compared to more mainstream titles from the era.
