Edderkoppkvinnens kyss
I et sør-amerikansk fengsel møter vi den homofile Molina og den revolusjonære Valentin. To menn som er ulike i ett og alt. Og likevel to menn som etablerer et nært og intenst forhold. For Molina blir opplevelsen et vendepunkt, med voldsomme konsekvenser...
Edderkoppkvinnens Kyss
Kiss of the Spider Woman starts within the narrow walls of a Latin American prison cell. Molina (William Hurt) is telling his new cellmate, Valentin (Raul Julia), his favorite story. Molina is a delicate homosexual imprisoned for seducing a minor; Valentin is a bearded revolutionary still bleeding from his interrogation. As they trade stories, each draws a new, surprising level of difference between the two heroes: escapism versus realism, romance versus politics, gay versus straight, hero versus coward. This groundbreaking movie was the first independent film to receive the top four Oscar nominations; William Hurt delivers an Oscar-winning performance in this tribute to the power of film and fantasy as escape from inhumane conditions.
