Kisss.....

About This Movie

Kisss is a quirky little gem from 1971 that drifts through the streets of Paris with a light-hearted absurdity. The film’s protagonist, Jimmy, or 'Kisss', is a young man engaging in an unconventional form of companionship, which lends itself to a unique commentary on relationships and value. The pacing has this leisurely, almost whimsical quality, and the performances, especially from Renée and her naive sister Jacqueline, add depth to the otherwise comedic premise. The practical effects are minimal but serve the story well, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. It’s not your typical comedy; there's an underlying sense of exploration in the relationships depicted, making it distinct in its own right.

Kisss has seen a few home video releases, but it remains somewhat obscure, with original prints being rather scarce. It tends to attract collectors who appreciate offbeat comedies and the subtle social commentary woven into its narrative. The film’s charm and the peculiar charm of its characters have sparked interest among those who delve deeper into the 70s European cinema scene.
