Seven Slaps on the Face

About This Movie

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.
