Sweet Kisses and Languid Caresses

About This Movie

'Sweet Kisses and Languid Caresses' is a curious blend of comedy and counterculture. The film captures that late '60s, early '70s vibe, with a bourgeois family man navigating the chaotic world of a carefree hippie girl. The performances feel raw, the pacing is laid-back, almost meandering at times, which adds to its charm. There's a distinct sense of frustration and longing as our protagonist grapples with his obsessive love while the hippie girl flits from one adventure to another. It's a fascinating look at societal norms clashing with youthful freedom, punctuated with moments that are both humorous and oddly poignant. It's not polished—there's a certain grittiness to it, but that’s part of its allure.

This film has seen a few formats over the years, but finding a decent copy on VHS or DVD can be a challenge. Its scarcity has piqued collector interest, especially among those who appreciate the eccentricities of 1970s cinema. While it may not be front and center in mainstream discussions, its offbeat charm and exploration of love and liberation make it a noteworthy find for collectors drawn to the era's experimental films.
