Seven Slaps on the Face is this quirky little gem from 1987 that definitely stands out for its oddball premise. The story follows a businessman who, after that unfortunate kiss with the boss' daughter, finds himself in a rather absurd challenge. It's a blend of comedy and drama that plays well with the absurdity of corporate life and personal relationships. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it somehow adds to its charm. The practical effects during the slapping scenes are surprisingly well done, adding a tactile quality that you don’t see much in modern films. The performances, too, have a rawness that feels genuine, making those slapstick moments land better than you'd expect. Overall, it’s a film that revels in its own ridiculousness while exploring themes of ambition and consequence.
