Kiss of Life (2003)
7/10
Home unhappiness
4 March 2004
A very sad plot plenty of difficulties and unexpected moments. A man was working for UN somewhere in Eastern Europe (Kosovo?) And he got a phone call from his wife, who desperately wanted him to come back. The family had two children, a young lady and a small child, plus their grandfather. Being the man of the house out, his wife became everything at home; she had to take care of the children and his father without any other help. Her husband decided to go for a while back home, to do that he had to go hitchhiking to the border to board a ship back to UK. In the meantime his wife was pushed by a car on the street and died. Children had to self take care. The film tries to be original because the mother is shown after her death trying to take care of everything at home. Many of scenes are part of dreams or nightmares of her children. Finally her husband got back home and she showed herself as if she was quitting. Certainly, the film is quite difficult to follow and you need to put all your brains to realize what's going on. This film is not for relax, you will always be in tension seeing it.
