Marian Dora's "Kissed"?


Yes, by that, I mean similar to that Canadian 1996 film with Molly Parker that deals with a female necrophiliac central character, albeit possibly more extreme and with some of Dora's obvious trademarks whether his visual symbolism (like the recurring doll and skeleton motifs) and certain body fluids and whatnot.

Also, its lead actress died in 2021 but does anyone know from what? Sorry to also delve into troubling territory, but her death had nothing to do with starring in Marian Dora's films, right? Hope not.

Oh and yeah, is this film, one of Dora's more recent outings, any good, worth a look, whether on its own terms or compared to his other work? Does it also make the aforementioned "Kissed" look like a Disney movie? Its currently available on blu-ray along with "Blight of Humanity" but to be honest I don't quite feel up to shelling out hard earned money to see either one.

The title by the way translates from German into English as "The Yearning of Maria D.", also, was the "Maria D." part in a way a nod to the filmmaker Marian Dora, even though he is a man and the main character in this movie, of course, a woman, anyone know, thanks.
