Killer's Kiss

Killer's Kiss

Synopsis

“Written, edited, shot, produced and directed by Kubrick for a mere $75,000, his second feature is a moody thriller shot on location in the streets of New York, effectively capturing the dark underbelly of the city at night. The story concerns a down-at-heel boxer falls for a night-club dancer after saving her from being raped by her boss, who consequently determines to put an end to their romance. Kubrick employs gritty black-and-white photography, flashbacks and dream sequences, and the surreal climactic fight in a warehouse full of mannequins is unforgettable.” – Dundee Contemporary Arts
