This is an awful movie. Dull plot, bad writing, terrible acting, predictable ending. I give it one star because Eliza Dushku is in a fair number of scenes, meaning at least there’s some eye candy value to the film. But seriously? This movie isn’t even good in the so-bad-it’s-entertaining sense. It’s just plain bad.

The Kiss is wonderful romantic film about long lost true love, and the courage to realize where the heart belongs in order to return to love. In this relatively low-budget and sincere film, featured some good actors in supporting roles include Terence Stamp, Billy Zane, Eliza Dushku, Illleana Douglas, while Francoise Surel anchored the story in a dual roles.

Cara(Francoise Surel) is a book editor, and she’s been assigned by her boss Joyce(Illeana Douglas) to track down the author(Phillip Naudet/Terence Stamp) of The Kiss, a 20 year old manuscript that’s missing the ending. The Kiss is expected to become a bestseller if published, and she has one week before the deadline. She was fascinated and touched by the unfinished book, because her own love life during her early twenties is very similar to Claire’s in The Kiss. They both were afraid of serious commitment and vanished from their boyfriends, only to learn that they regretted their choices a decade later. Billy Zane played Cara’s rejected boyfriend Alan as well as Claire’s(also played by Surel) boyfriend Young Phillip in the book, which took place in Paris during the ’50s. The scenes imagined from the book is shot in black and white, and the Francoise Surel looks very different in a vintage look.

Cara and her roomate Megan(Eliza Dushku) embarked a search for Phillip, but he’s been hidding away from the world in a remote town, so it took Cara a long time to track him down. Phillip Naudet was broken hearted and dying of cancer since his wife past away, and he was reluctant to help Cara with finishing his book that was based on his own love life…..

Francoise Surel and Billy Zane shared some touching and romantic moments together. Terence Stamp did a pretty good job with his limited screen time and a decent American accent. Illeana Douglas and Eliza Dushku had minimal screentime and seemed wasted for their insigificant roles.

This is the newest movie in Eliza Dushku’s career. It’s a very beautiful drama, talking the story about a woman that searches for the perfect ending for her book.

The Kiss also features Francoise Surel, Terence Stamp and Eliza Dushku. A must have for all Eliza fans.

The Belarus daily called “The Kiss a hugely important movie for the country to enjoy for generations to come.” The Belarus Times calls it ” A masterpiece of tension and a thought provoking journey through hell.” What happens when a movie company hires the entire staff of a San Jose motel 6 to star in a political thriller. The plot is a complex one involving the impact of a Russian incursion on Belarus soil. Lead actress Francoise Surel is stunning as a KGB spy sent to Belarus to take over a gas station straddling the border. The gas station owner is mortified when he sees the anorexic spy and yet is drawn to staring at her breasts at the same time. Will he or wont he sign the modern facility over to the Russians. The agent, “Clara” is sparing no time at all to have large paintings of herself made in preparation for her assent into power in this politically unstable region. The climax of the film reveals the desperation a lonely man will go for a sneak peak at this young womans breasts, including ceding the gas station to this “Daughter of Stalin.”

Filmed entirely in Belarus on an insanely low budget, this movie’s unforgettable ending will have everyone weeping with joy.
