Thought the movie was hilarious and different, in a good way. It was great to see a different perspective on sexuality, what makes people tick, and laugh and enjoy each persons uniqueness. Watch the first 10 minutes, see if you like it, and if so I think you´ll enjoy the movie. A lot of fun!
... View MoreNeeded a movie with subtitle due to decaying hearing, the only available one was Kiki El amore se hace or Love to Love. Borrowing your idea of it : Under Madrid's scorching summer sun, ordinary couples with real passion and the unquenchable desire to love and be loved, share the same irrepressible urge to investigate their own sexuality through five intertwined stories." My partner is not so much fond of 'extraordinaire' but we went to see it on the premise the topic may be off her taste. She survived and I had one or two good laugh. I'm skeptical if one should go and see it with some more in depth idea about it or just keep it as a total surprise. But this is at the risk of wasting a couple of hours. I remember a humoristic question that asked "what is the difference between kinky and pervert". The answer was something like kinky would be to use a feather in the appropriate foreplay area, but pervert would use the whole chicken This came to mind when I watched KKLL. And I would say the visual may have been subdued and feathered but the language was pretty much "whole chicken". I don't think I'm a purist yet the description was fairly full on if I can put it this way. The gags were at times fairly funny, others a little flat. The ending was rather predictable and so inappropriately dragging on. I'll be a little harsh and will say: Forgettable!
... View MoreSometimes you see a creative or a different perspective to the same movie...that may be acceptable. However, this movie has bluntly copied, 1 to 1, the Australian movie "The Little Death" (2014). At least they should have been fair and use the same name. For honest disclosure - if you haven't watch the Australian version (that to my taste it's better than this one), this movie is quite enjoyable. It will only be disappointing if you watched the other version.
... View MoreSome people are turned on by being spanked, or by licking bare feet. Others get excited by tears, by being violently attacked, by touching silk or by watching someone sleep. The Spanish movie 'Kiki' is about these less common sexual preferences.The sexual hang-ups of the different characters lead to bizarre and comical situations. The woman who gets excited by tears takes her husband to funerals and pretends to have cancer. The one with a preference for armed violence, accidentally smashes up her own boyfriend when he tries to stage a robbery for her sake.It's not so easy to make a film about these topics without going over the top. But in 'Kiki', the tone is just right. There are five couples, each with their own problems, and they all talk about their sexual problems totally uninhibited, which is very refreshing. Of course, this film is not for prudes. You have to be prepared for jokes that could be extremely tasteless if told in a wrong way. But here, they are not offensive, because the concept of sex as being risqué is completely absent.On the other hand, there are no explicit scenes at all, which I also found very refreshing. There's mostly talk about sex, and when something needs to be shown, it is done without revealing more than strictly necessary.This is a lighthearted, intelligent comedy with a slightly kinky touch, a bit like the early Almodovar-films. Oh, and it's also a feel good movie. Every couple gets happy in the end, and there is a wonderful and nicely shot last scene to top it all off.
