Review of Facade

Facade (1999)
9/10
Surreal and funny; very enjoyable
8 July 1999
I 'spect this'll be another of those love-it-or-hate-it movies. It was refreshing and original, and I very much enjoyed the subtle sense of humor which saturated it. I read a review of this movie that complained about it not fitting into a nice neat pre-established type of comedy. (Ironically mentioning "Monty-Pythonish" as being one of his accepted bins. The reviewer seemed to forget that Monty Python itself was rather off-the-wall in its time, and took a while to catch on.)

The way this movie spun out its tale reminded me of Hudson Hawk, which I also very much enjoyed. So, maybe if you liked that one, you'll like Facade.
