Firstly, I am beyond happy that Argentine author Manuel Puig’s 1976 novel is being adapted once more for modern audiences. The tale of two prisoners during Brazil's military dictatorship, intertwined with an escapist sort of romance, makes for one phenomenal on-screen display. For those unaware, Kiss of the Spider Woman was first made into a full-length feature back in 1985, starring Raul Julia, William Hurt, and Sonia Braga. A new remake, starring Diego Luna, Tonatiuh, and Jennifer Lopez is in theaters this weekend, which inspired me to revisit a film I once naively avoided.
