An indie gem inspired by Kubrick’s Killer’s Kiss! In 1950s Hollywood, a first-time director encourages his inexperienced actors to form a real-life romance to increase their heat on screen. But that doesn’t play well with the gangster film financier boyfriend of the leading lady. A fascinating mix of backstage melodrama and film-within-a-film, Strangers Kiss is ripe for rediscovery. Peter Coyote stars as the novice filmmaker.
