Le Sourire

1960 · 22 min Documentary
5.5 / 10 · TMDB

In the year that Cannes Film Festival handed out awards to Federico Fellini for La Dolce Vita, L'Avventura by Michelangelo Antonioni, and Kagi by Kon Ichikawa -- 'Le Sourire' won the Palme d'Or for Best Short Film in 1960. This quiet and intelligent film is a remarkable interpretation of a young monks perspective into a world of meditation, sacred geometry, and coming of age. A tribute to Buddhism, introspection and the wonders of nature...a short but lasting work of art.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Le Sourire has mixed reviews with a rating of 5.5/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1960. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
