KISSED

Directed by Lynne Stopkewich.   Written by Angus Fraser and Lynne Stopkewich.  Stars Molly Parker.
1996, 78 minutes, Color, Rated R.

That's a dead mouse in her hand.

This is probably the best movie about a woman who likes to make love to corpses that you will likely ever see.  Flippancy aside, you might well asked WHY you would want to see such a film.  Fair enough.  While it is NOT an exploitation film (there is a certain lyrical quality to the woman's actions, and considerable time is devoted to developing why this could develop) there are nevertheless times that the woman chucks her clothes off and rubs herself all over dead people, which is not, as you would think, something you see everyday.  Surprisingly, the film does not dwell on these scenes and works overall as a character study of a somewhat--well, I don't want to call her deranged--DIFFERENT person.

Molly Parker is exceptional in the lead role.
