This short was in part four of the "Short Cinema Journal"--a film I rented from Netflix but which appears to have originally been a monthly film series for people who like mediocre modern short films AND love to have the DVD chock full of commercials. I have so far tried two of the Journal's DVDs and felt enraged at the horrible way that a viewer needs to navigate the disk in order to see the films. Talk about an over-produced and overly complicated way of doing this! While I have and will continue to see as many shorts as I can, I really doubt if I'll bother with the Journals because of these factors. It's a shame, as KOM is a lovely film and deserves to be seen.
While not my favorite in the set, this short was extremely sweet and tender. At first, as you watch the film, however, it seems very adult and rather sexual as you see a couple groping and pawing at each other. However, the film did not degenerate into a sex film but actually turned into a very sweet bit of nostalgia. Very competently made and very endearing.
