Kissed Review
Kissed is a film about a woman who finds spiritual meaning in her life by making love to the dead. It sounds like the stuff of cheap horror movies, but in the hands of director Lynne_Stopkewich, it becomes almost religious. Molly_Parker stars as the death-obsessed Sandra, who works at a funeral home and believes that she is ushering souls on their way with a final offering of ecstasy from the living world. The story takes a more earthly turn when Sandra meets Matt (Peter_Outerbridge), who soon finds himself competing with corpses for his beloved's attentions. This is a strange film, based on Barbara_Gowdy's story "-We Seldom Look on Love" (and with echoes of Kathe Koja) but amazingly enough -- given the subject matter -- manages to be not only tasteful, but oddly heartwarming. If you can't get beyond the word "necrophilia," you still won't enjoy it, and there's a pretty strong embalming scene which may upset the squeamish, but open-minded viewers are likely to be both surprised and moved by this dark gem.
