Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985)
Country: US/BRA
Technical: col 119m
Director: Hector Babenco
Cast: William Hurt, Raul Julia, Sonia Braga
Synopsis:
A political prisoner shares a cell with a homosexual in a repressive South American republic, and after initial contempt learns to sustain himself on the movie-inspired romantic escapism of the latter's storytelling.
Review:
A theatrical two-hander just about sustained by its tremendous acting. Its prolonged scenes of dialogue cover so much ground, one comes out not quite knowing what has been said, but with the irresistible feeling one has been preached to.
