Synopsis

As a brave couple demonstrates, the narrator uses quotes, examples and advice to help us all reach the highest heights in the art of kissing.

MUBI's take

The legendary American animator explores the many variations of kisses, including the classic French kiss. A palpable dissonance emerges between Bill Plympton’s trippy, elastic and disconcertingly physical animations of people kissing and the cheery voice-over. A playful ode to smooching.
