S3 • E1 Jan 19, 2004 50m
Auguste Rodin 's Kiss has had a more colourful life than most sculptures. At the time of its conception 100 years ago the intertwined lovers' erotically charged embrace was seen as dangerous. Even in the last year its story has undergone twists and turns. Now housed in London's Tate Modern, this film recounts The Kiss's byzantine history.
