Final scene is in a movie theater where a man is watching scenes of kissing

Kirk Douglas achieved the kind of cinematic stardom that dreams are made of. As the torch was passed to his talented son Michael, it became obvious to everyone that the Douglas dynasty would continue to thrive…

At a preview theatre, a young filmmaker waits in the hope of getting his new sci-fi drama certified with ‘no cuts’ by the conservative men of the Indian Censor Board. The board finds a kissing scene in the film beyond the duration stipulated by official, orthodox rules. The filmmaker and board members argue, but when they enter the movie theatre to review the film, the laws of physics begin to disintegrate, sending these men into a world of chaos.

A man, a woman, and a movie theater -- a tale of love and grace.

A gay couple are kissing and deepening love in a movie scenario. As the two main actors are also a couple in real life, you can literally see “Love” in its exact form. The director himself mentions his aspects of kissing being entertaining and filled with wonder.

The scene is set, familiar and unfamiliar at once. Two men engaged in a gaze magnetic enough to lock their lips and pull them to stand. What does this kiss serve? Is it passion, connection, expression, obligation? Maybe it’s all of it and more, or nothing more than touch.

In a mock documentary style, the film explores the duplicity of two actors and their director. The actors kiss on screen but away from the camera they secretly hate each other.

A cinema becomes the site of sexual intrigue when a man looking for romance in the dark follows a woman into the movies and finds himself molesting her husband instead.

A couple meet in a cemetary and kiss.

The cinematic kiss is probably one of the most archetypical images to be found in film history. It is usually a reassuring and sometimes climactic element in a movie's storyline. Not in Nicolas Provost's 'Gravity' though: with stroboscopic effects, more than a dozen kissing scenes, most from stereotypical 1950s romantic dramas, are edited together and superimposed. Narrative is subverted as the kissing is isolated from its context entirely; the action slows down and flickers back and forth. Every now and then, shots from different films overlap and match; protagonists merge and diverge again a few seconds later. The sugary and dramatic soundtrack of romantic film music contrasts with the deconstructed images; together, they form a dazzling 6-minute vertigo where love becomes a passionate battle.

Two sets of actors re-enact the most romantic kisses in history from the 1600s through the 1960s, all while grappling with their off-camera feelings between takes.
