action
Sandra, a young woman who is employed as an apprentice in a morgue , was very interested in dead animals as a child. At work, she lives out her necrophilic tendencies on male corpses, then she meets the medical student Matt, who is not repelled by her sexual preferences and falls in love with her. However, Sandra does not get rid of her passion for the dead, so that Matt has to learn to accept it and makes a fatal decision.
criticism
“The debut of the young Canadian director Lynne Stopkewich is not a spectacular film, but it is all the more memorable. Kissed is neither a consumer product nor a necrophilic satisfaction of needs. Actually, Kissed isn't even a film about death, but tells of the inability to live. "
"A film packed in hypnotically beautiful pictures about the taboo topic necrophilia and the story of an absolute love."
“A haunting debut film that portrays the out-of-the-way sensation more than it explains it, and without reflection adopts a widespread esoteric light metaphor as a fact. Although death becomes a mere transition, the vision of a loving treatment of the deceased is engraved in the memory. "
