	Kiss of the Spider Woman : About\| Logo Online
		Sensitive and flamboyant, Molina helps pass the time by recounting memories from one of his favorite films, a wartime romantic thriller that just may also be a Nazi propaganda film.

		Kiss of the Spider Woman received Oscar nominations for best picture, best director and best adapted screenplay, and Hurt took home the best actor trophy for his portrayal of the soulful and conflicted Molina.

	Theater Review: 'Kiss of the Spider Woman'
		iss of the Spider Woman,' the last musical of the season, is far and away the most thrilling, and not just because it allows a largely unknown Canadian actor, Brent Carver, to make an electrifying Broadway debut.
		Her portrayal of the treacherous Spider Woman, whose kiss brings instant death to stouthearted men, is one he'd rather put out of his mind, but otherwise he can usually mine her celluloid repertory for lush and glamorous scenes to subvert the here and now.
		'Kiss of the Spider Woman' brings them to life in a series of brilliant musical numbers that transform bare-chested convicts into chorus boys, steel bars into canes and the prison itself into a low-rent Copacabana.

	Sexual Discourse in Kiss of the Spider Woman
		In Kiss of the Spider Woman, a novel written by Manuel Puig and later visualized into cinematic discourse by Hector Babenco, one of the characters, Molina, performs the labor of perpetuating the fixed meaning of homosexuality by feeding the stereotype that our culture has constructed to define him.
		In Kiss of the Spider Woman, the movie plots that Molina tells to Valentin are his bridge to become part of this private heterosexual paradise.
		With the role that the male must assume as the woman's role, Molina is disempowered of his sex, since he is bound by the representation of the woman that the media perpetuates.

		"Kiss of the Spider Woman" tells one of those rare and entrancing stories where one thing seems to happen while another thing is really happening.

		What "Kiss of the Spider Woman" at first seems to be about is the changing nature of the relationship between two very different men who have been locked together in the same cell.

		Manuel Puig's novel, "Kiss of the Spider Woman" first appeared in print in 1976, was filmed with a strangely cast William Hurt as Molina, and eventually musicalized for London and Broadway over a decade ago.
		Katherine Lynne Condit, who credits Broadway, national and international tours on her resume, has difficulty projecting her voice over the band, but her sultry dual performance as the slinky B-movie star Aurora and the angel of death known as the Spider Woman are otherwise right on target.

		This title Kiss of the Spider Woman is always a good one for charades.
		It certainly highlights the fragile, growing emotional relationship between the two men as Molina gives himself unselfishly to nursing Valentin through bouts of food poisoning acquired through eating food tainted by the authorities, even though he is acting as a spy on the political prisoner.
		The downside, though, of making Valentin more reasonable from the outset is that there is less of a feeling of a journey to their coming together, and the first half seems rather flat, despite an atmospheric soundtrack of political speeches, jail noise and tango music between the scenes.

	Steven Wu's Book Reviews: Kiss of the Spider Woman (Manuel Puig)
		Manuel Puig's Kiss of the Spider Woman consists almost entirely of several long dialogues between two Argentinian prisoners: Molina, a movie lover who is incarcerated basically for being gay; and Valentin, a political revolutionary.
		Kiss of the Spider Woman does reach a few high points, all of which have to do with Molina's obsession with movies.
		At their best, however, they're a lot of fun: take, for instance, the creepy film about a woman who ends up on an island filled with zombies.

	Nick's Flick Picks: The Blog: Picked Flick #42: Kiss of the Spider Woman
		When I first heard about the movie, reading over the lists of Oscar nominees in the local TV Guide—it was the last year before I actually watched the telecast—I couldn't imagine why anyone wouldn't vote for it, or how a movie with that title could be anything but hypnotic, dangerous, creative.
		Kiss of the Spider Woman debuted the same year as The Purple Rose of Cairo, just a few rungs down on this list.
		I learned even more from Kiss, and I feel even closer to it, because its range of themes and arguments is a little broader, and it humbled me from ever assuming that I've got any movie fully pinned down, no matter how much I love it or how many times I've seen it.

	Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews - "Kiss of the Spider Woman" - 11/8/05
		As Aurora/the Spider Woman, Christine A. Maglione possesses the voice (echoed eerily by talented sound designer Matt O’Hare), the dancing prowess, and the requisite supernatural aura.
		Spider Woman is especially stunning to look at, employing a turntable-based jail cell (designed by Eric Levenson) that the actors climb like a jungle gym.
		Those spangled wonders are the work of Seth Bodie, and to his credit each entrance of the Spider Woman/Aurora was met with breathless gasps from the audience as they drank in the elaborate and outrageous ensembles.
