Review of Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985) by Aaron J — 20 Dec 2009
This film is truly tender and beautiful. Hector Babenco has crafted a film to reallly be proud of. William Hurt gave such a tender and emotional performance as Luis Molina, a gay man who is imprisoned with a marxist (Raul Julia).
William Hurt deserved the Oscar for this performance. I rate his performance in the top ten of greatest performances by actors, he plays his part with such a mothering nature. Raul Julia is very convincing as Valentin Arregui, his part serves as the observer to Molina, as Molina tells his movies in the jail cell.
The film is really a play on life, love, and happiness. The script is filled with such emotional satire that in the end will have you crying like a baby.
