Kissed / Canada / 1996

Kissed shares a particular interest in female sexuality with The Rapture, and in both women are given inordinately perverse outlets for sexual liberation. But in neither do women remain liberated: The Rapture’s Sharon renounces her lifestyle as a swinger in favor of a more fulfilling one as a Christian, and in result her husband and child are killed; in Kissed Sandra’s only – and first – living boyfriend (I should note here that she’s a necrophiliac, and by the time she is courted by a member of the opposite sex she has been with several corpses) can not supply her with the ecstasy she achieves in a preparatory room of a funeral home (or the back of a hearse, etc.). He kills himself, a selfless sacrifice to satisfy his lover in the only way he’s able to. Although death is permanent, the pleasure it gives Sandra is temporary because flesh deteriorates. Her boyfriend was inadequate during his life, but the pleasure he gives her in his death will fade at the rate of her memory.
