Kuß der Spinnenfrau: Directed by Hector Babenco. With William Hurt, Raul Julia, Sônia Braga, José Lewgoy. A gay man and a political prisoner are together in a prison. The gay man narrates the stories of two fake movies and his own life.
“This film, about two thoroughly different souls turning into each other, is one of the all-time greats. The writing is crisp, the acting is phenomenal, and the story is exquisite. I have read the book in both Spanish and English, seen the musical four times, read the script of the play, and watched this movie over and over again… I recommend it to anyone who wants a true powerhouse drama, not a schmaltzy tearjerker.”
