Kissed
Lynn Stopkewich's Kissed is now set for a doubtlessly quieter launch onto DVD
| 12 Mar 2007
Film title:
Kissed
Release date:
12 March.
The contemporary outrage and condemnation of the film was too easy, and the inevitable DVD sleeve associations with other sex-taboo films are inaccurate – Kissed is nowhere near as stylised nor as likeable as Secretary, but thankfully avoids the giggly voyeurism of Crash.
Parker is a compelling study in unearthly serenity, and though the film is by no means conventional entertainment, its sensitivity with such problematic subject matter demands at the very least a respectful response. Certainly a bit of a challenge – and hardly going to make it onto primetime TV any time soon - but undeniable as a piece of groundbreaking cinema. [Lyndsay West]
