Serata fiacca? Necessità di sdrammatizzare un'atmosfera troppo tesa? Cercate un buon hobby con cui far bella figura al prossimo colloquio di lavoro? Difficoltà nel far bella impressione sui futuri suoceri?
La
necrofilia è un tema che fa sempre fine e non impegna: butti lì l'argomento, ed in men che non si dica ti risolve la serata!
Avevo già visto
Kissed, ma mi ero ripromesso di riguardarlo in un orario che non fosse da tombaroli (non che non fosse adeguato al tema...)
Una
giovane ragazza un bel po' sbiellata, coltiva fin da piccola una insana passione nei confronti della morte; cresciuta, riuscirà a farsi assumere come imbalsamatrice in una camera mortuaria, dove potrà portare all'estremo la propria passione copulando coi corpi di giovanotti, coi quali sostiene di riuscire ad instaurare un rapporto che non sia solo mono-direzionale, ma che è anzi soddisfacente per entrambi.
Del resto lei lo capisce dalla loro
aura e, come dice il proverbio, "tra moglie e perito non mettere il dito".
Se vi state chiedendo come possa
funzionare, avete dato poco peso ad
"un bel po' sbiellata". C'è poi anche da dire che se diam retta alle
ultime improbabili statistiche, sembra che non le passi poi tanto peggio di quelle che se la fanno coi vivi...
Tornando a noi, la signorina incontrerà un ragazzo (stranamente ancora al mondo), che resterà totalmente affascianto dalle di lei pratiche; va da sé che la necrofilia è una di quelle piccole cose che alla lunga possono davvero mettere in crisi un rapporto - un po' come lasciare la tavoletta del water alzata - e tutto si complicherà.
Il tema raccapricciante è trattato in maniera adeguata, con tratti grotteschi derivanti paradossalmente dalla (quasi) normalità con cui viene presentato; non si può certo dire che la storia (con risvolti romantici,
a suo modo) sia travolgente o che risulti
"convincente", ma del resto un'ora e 20 sull'argomento sembrano già sufficienti.
A tratti presenta risvolti
Gaimaniani: specie i riti praticati dalla protagonista da bambina ricordano molto nello stile le cerimonie della
Necropoli di Litargirio descritta nella
Locanda alla Fine dei Mondi.
E poi, diamine, un film che dall'MPAA riceve la valutazione
rated R for aberrant sexuality and some language non può essere del tutto malvagio!
E ricordate: necrofilia significa non dover mai dire "basta che respiri..."
Voto: 6.5 (basta non trovarlo troppo persuasivo...)

Ultimi lavori: Biografia:Molly Parker, the extremely talented and versatile Canadian actress best known in the United States for playing the Western widow Alma Garret on the cable-TV series "Deadwood," was born on July 17, 1972, in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. Raised on a commune she described as "a hippie farm" in Pitt Meadows, B.C., Parker got the acting bug when she was 16 years old, after 13 years of ballet training. Parker's uncle was an actor, and his agent took her on as a client, enabling her to launch her career in small roles on Canadian television. She enrolled at Vancouver's Gastown Actors' Studio after she graduated form high school, and continued to act on TV in series and TV-movies while learning her craft at acting school.Parker began attracting attention when she appeared as the daughter of a lesbian military officer in the TV-movie "Serving in Silence". She earned a Gemini nomination (the Canadian TV industry's equivalent of the Emmy) for her performance in the TV-movie "Paris or Somewhere". However, it was her debut in theatrical films that gave her her big breakthrough, playing a necrophiliac in Lynne Stopkewich's 1996 film "Kissed". It was "Kissed that set Molly's career into overdrive.A friend got her an audition for the low-budget independent feature film, and she hit if off with the director, who not only cast her, but became her friend. As the character Sandra Larson, a poetic soul obsessed with death who engages in sexual congress with a corpse, Parker created a sympathetic character in a difficult role. The film garnered her rave revues and she won a Genie Award, the Canadian cinema's Academy Award, for her performance. She parlayed the accolades into a sustained career on film and in TV.On TV, Parker was part of the cast of CBC-TV's six-part sitcom "Twitch City", playing the girlfriend of Don McKellar, which enabled her to showcase her comedic skills. Other memorable TV roles was the female rabbi on Home Box Office's series "Six Feet Under", and of course, he regular role on HBO's "Deadwood". She has appeared in many ambitious films, including Jeremy Podeswa's "The Five Senses", István Szabó's "Sunshine", and Michael Winterbottom's "Wonderland" (1999). She also re-teamed with director Lynne Stopkewich for "Suspicious River."Parker made waves with another provocative film with sex as its subject, director Wayne Wang's "The Center of the World". In the movie, Parker played a San Francisco lap dancer who becomes a paid escort to a Silicon Valley nerd. For her performance, she was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. In 2002, she was nominated twice as best supporting actress at the Genies for her roles in the British/Canadian co-production "The War Bride" and "Bruce Sweeney's Last Wedding", winning for her appearance in the latter film.Parker's reputation as an outstanding actress is based on her assaying of strong, yet flawed, definitely complex women in character-leads and supporting parts in challenging films. Not only does she convey intelligence, but there is an unconscious elegance to her, a true inner beauty that radiates on-screen. She will be gracing the screen, both large and small, with her unique presence for many years to come.
