Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Beautifully doneThe star, Molly Parker, is luminescent and a terribly challenging topic is addressed in a very sensitive way. I first saw this Canadian movie on VHS years ago and was quite disappointed that it wasn't available for so long on DVD. I added it to my wish list as soon as I found it was available. Very recommended. Rating: - Strangely PoeticIn most movies, necrophilia is either hinted about ('American Gothic') or used as a joke ('Dodgeball'). You rarely, if ever, see it portrayed onscreen. "Kissed" does just that. Instead of making the character a sick perverted person, the filmmakers actually present you with a character you come to like. This character is Sandra, played by Molly Parker (HBO's "Deadwood"). As a child, Sandra develops a fascination with death that continues into adulthood. Once she gets a job at a funeral parlor and ... Read More Rating:  - SUSPEND YOUR DISBELIEF--AND YOU MAY LIKE ITDirector/producer/writer Lynne Stopkewich seems to be improving steadily. Finally, in this low-budget film, a professional "feel" is present most of the time. The acting of the two stars--Molly Parker as Sandra Larson and Peter Outerbridge as Matt--is flawless. She appeared in Stopkewich's SUSPICIOUS RIVER and is probably best known as the elegant widow in HBO's series "Deadwood"; he appeared in LUCKY NUMBER SLEVEN as Dumbrowski. A few of the other actors are adequate, but several come ...

It's a very faithful adaptation. The story and movie deal with a young woman's perceptions of the recently dead, the spiritual energy that they radiate, and her very special relations with the departed. The adoration of a body as its energy is blazing away from life to death is presented in such a way as to make the act known as necrophilia into something holy, a spiritual service ...

Seems fine to me - I mean there were plenty scenes of necrophilia so I don't know if it's cut or not. Of course if the DVD is really censored it'd be nice to see the original version but even like this the film delivers. Beforehand I thought it'd be either stupid or it'd be some kind of art-house dull stuff. I was wrong and slightly surprised. "Kissed" although ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
