Review of Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985) by Nguyen Thuy H — 28 Jun 2014
I haven't read the book, but the film infuriates me. If Valentin didn't love Monila at all, then why did he have sex with him? It was pity, wasn't it? I have serious issue with characters who act out an idealistically compassionate world view, but couldn't hold a mirror to themselves.
Others call it "sensitivity". I call it "condescension".
