Splendid adaptation of a musical by George Gershwin that Fred Astaire and his sister Adele had performed on Broadway in 1927.
He plays a photographer for a fashion magazine who finds the face of his dreams in the figure of a bookstore clerk. Thanks to her interest in existentialism, she can be taken to Paris and there...

"One of the most sophisticated musicals and the most elegant, delicate and volatile. With a good dose of bad milk: it parodies or, rather, ridicules the French intellectual of the fifties, contrasting it with the refined art of Richard Avedon, the nascent fashions in European aesthetics and the exquisite covers of high-flying magazines. Great idea: while some rack their brains trying to figure out the unfathomable mysteries of existence, others just try to live it. Funny Face takes advantage of it, and in what way" (Jordi Batlle Caminal).
