Movie #3592 "Two People exchanging Saliva" (theater) There always has to be a way out one, and this one is --- once again live-action short, oscar-nominated 2026. This one was way far out there for me to figure out completely. This is what I saw: in a society not of our own, kissing is punishable by being put in a box and thrown into the river. When people pay for items they buy, they get slaps, and so many slaps brings on more of a stigma. I saw only women punished, and so it may be a comment on a society that mistreats women (wow, consider that idea!). And it is two women that the film focuses on who have a physical attraction to each other - one buys clothes from the other. A possible comment on the importance of outward appearance in women? I had a thought that with diseases like Covid that a society might suggest that you can't exchange saliva with another --- which seems farfetched, but then we live in a society today that is getting rid of vaccinations that have kept some diseases controlled for decades. So? I'm sorry I can't say more about this, and because of that I would have to complain that there just wasn't enough info given -- but maybe that was just me, and the group I was in. I would give it a weak 3 because of that, but I also found it intriguing in parts. But I would be surprised if it gets the big award in this category.
