Andy Warhol’s film consisting of repeated close-ups of people kissing is titled Kiss.
Made in 1963, Kiss is a series of short black-and-white film portraits. Each segment shows a couple or individual engaged in a kiss, filmed in a deliberately extended, observational style. The simple action becomes visually striking because the camera refuses the rapid editing and narrative development expected from commercial cinema.
The film belongs to Warhol’s early experimental movie period, when he explored duration, stillness, repetition, and the presence of performers in front of a fixed camera. It was shown in installments and became one of his best-known early films.
Kiss is often mixed up with Eat, Sleep, or Blow Job, other Warhol films built around restricted actions and long takes. Those titles describe different subjects: eating, sleeping, and a sexual act. Kiss specifically centers on filmed embraces and kisses.
