Imitation of Kiss

About This Movie

So, 'Imitation of Kiss'—what an oddity. It falls under the avant-garde umbrella, with a style that really leans into the bizarre and unsettling. The pacing is uneven, almost reflective of its themes, kind of disorienting but in a way that gets under your skin. The practical effects have that raw, gritty feel that makes you appreciate the craftsmanship behind them. The performances are... well, let’s just say they’re not your typical Hollywood fare. It's the kind of film that lingers in your mind long after viewing, with a strange mix of dark humor and unsettling imagery that feels fresh, even in the early 2000s context.

This film's availability can be quite sporadic; it’s not widely released, making it a bit of treasure for collectors. It originally surfaced on DVD, but I’ve seen some limited editions pop up in small runs, adding to the allure. Interest tends to spike among those who appreciate niche cinema, especially in the realm of the underground. Its rarity means you might have to dig a bit to find a decent copy, but that’s part of the hunt, right?
