KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN
Bill Condon, the Academy Award®-winning writer-director of GODS AND MONSTERS, CHICAGO, DREAMGIRLS, and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, provides a visionary new interpretation of this literary and cultural landmark, featuring award-worthy performances from Diego Luna (Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN, ROGUE ONE), newcomer Tonatiuh, and Jennifer Lopez (UNSTOPPABLE, CIFF 2024), who soars in the role originated by Chita Rivera on Broadway.
Argentina, 1983. With the country’s military dictatorship waging a brutal war against its political opponents, prisoners Valentín and Molina find themselves thrown together in a cramped cell. Initially at odds, they begin to bond as Molina narrates the story of his favourite movie musical, KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN.
