Kissed (1996)

New parents tend to agree that boys are creepy and girls are sweet, but when a child of the distaff gender in Kissed (1996) veers off into weirdness, she freaks freakier than most young dudes could pretend to. Death, it seems, is the natural phenomenon that floats the boat of Kissed’s precocious pretty. Gorgeous, deep, and caring all describe this intimate portrait of a young woman whose most satisfying sexual activities take place with young men whose animating essence has recently departed their fleshly containers. Is she sick or is she extraordinarily sensitive? To the boy who loves her, this lovely lover of the dead is the embodiment of all life’s wonders and mysteries.
