BFI

As the title implies, the purpose of this single-shot film is to show a man pulling faces, which become increasingly elaborate the more beer he drinks. Finally, he forgets himself altogether and makes various offensive gestures with his hands.

The man is played by Tom Green, who appeared in several other G.A. Smith films, often as a philandering husband who ends up being disciplined by his wife. One imagines that a similar fate lay in store for this film's protagonist once he'd finished his beer and staggered home.
