Kiss of the Spider Woman - The Criterion Collection4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray (Restored)Genre: DramaLabel: Criterion CollectionDescription: Featuring indelible performances from Raul Julia and an Academy Award-winning William Hurt Kiss of the Spider Woman is a work of radical compassion that boldly expands notions of love gender and revolution. In the film - directed by Héctor Babenco following his international breakthrough with Pixote and adapted from the novel by the iconoclastic writer Manuel Puig - Julia and Hurt play Valentin and Molina a militant leftist activist and a queer cinema-obsessed window dresser imprisoned together under a repressive military dictatorship. The two gradually forge a bond that transforms the way they both understand politics sexuality and masculinity. Blending raw realism with Molina's imaginative escapes into sumptuous movie fantasy this searing human drama offers a powerful vision of personal liberation embedded within broader political struggle.
