Three Kisses

About This Movie

So, 'Three Kisses' from 1955—it's quite an oddball in the documentary realm, really. The narrative centers around a young hurler sharing his experiences in Ballykilly, a fictional Irish town that's so charming in its own right. The pacing is leisurely, allowing you to soak in the local atmosphere, the way the town feels almost alive, with its quirks and the characters that inhabit it. The performances are genuine, capturing that raw enthusiasm and spirit of the sport. What's distinctive here is how it blends the sport with local culture—it's not just about the game, but a slice of Irish life. If you appreciate a more narrative-driven documentary, this one’s definitely worth a look.

'Three Kisses' has had a bit of a rough ride in terms of availability. It's not something you see floating around often, making it a bit of a treasure for collectors. Most prints are quite scarce, so if you come across one, it might be worth picking up. The blend of documentary style with a narrative approach gives it a unique place in your collection.
