Kill Kill Faster Faster is a New York tragic love story - streetwise, stylish and desperately, savagely sad.
KKFF is the story of Joe One-Way, a man serving a life stretch for the passion murder of his teenage bride Kimba. Inspired to write by Clinique, his Jamaican cellmate, mentor and lover, Joe pens the hard-boiled play White Man: Black Hole. New York film producer, Markie Mann, wanting to make the play into a film, pulls strings to have Joe paroled and contracts him to write the screenplay for the movie. Fleur is Markie Mann’s beautiful wife, a one-time hooker and ex-con, who can’t help but fall for kindred spirit Joe. Their attraction is irresistible. Fleur is Joe’s salvation and soul-mate. They are propelled on a journey of obsession, guilt, and lust as Joe struggles between the pull of heroin, his violent impulses and the desire to redeem himself in the eyes of his estranged twin daughters. A bad man trying to be good, the more he tries to do right, the more goes wrong. He is sent in a tail spin. Out of control, Joe One-Way soon discovers that life on the outside may be too dangerous even for him.
The award-winning Kill Kill Faster Faster is a hard-boiled contemporary film noir, a poignant love story that is both tragic and bitter sweet. Joe is a violent man whose life has been defined by love. An honest and unflinching account of a bad man’s struggle to better himself, a soulful portrayal of a flawed man’s struggle to overcome his demons. It examines issues of sexuality and race in an innovative, sensitive and provocative manner. Joe One-Way is a man who can only find solace in the language of sex. The passion and physicality of his love his only navigation through the trauma he encounters.
A barbed humour is the vein that runs through KKFF: rich with stabbing irony, the film will lead the audience to laugh even when they’re most shocked. The audience are in the trenches with Joe, inside his head. The audience have a difficult and traumatic relationship with Joe. Although they feel empathy and sympathy for him he is equally repulsive and terrifying. This troubled dynamic is the central drive of the story.
Music is an integral element of the film acting as its heartbeat, its soul. The brooding lament of a sad, wounded man.
