#kiss of the spider woman
Text
Once upon a time, in a tropical island far away, there lived a strange woman […] she was caught in a giant spider web that grew out of her own body. One day a shipwrecked man drifted onto the beach. She fed him and cared for his wounds. She nourished him with love and brought him back to life. When he awoke, he gazed up at the spider woman and saw a perfect tear drop slide from under her mask.
Kiss of the Spider Woman
1985, dir. Héctor Babenco

Kiss of the Spider Woman (with subtitles)
I recently finished subtitling the best quality bootleg of Kiss of the Spider Woman I could find. In addition to subtitles, I have also edited in proshot b-roll footage where available. I hope some people who haven't been able to see the show are able to enjoy it this way!

Fellas I am looking for more sad musicals to get into. They don’t even have to have a sad ending necessarily, I just want something dramatic to cry to, I’ll put some faves in the tags :^)

Did a bit of research on Diego Luna’s Kiss of the Spider Woman movie, currently filming. Putting some little factoids behind the cut because there are minor spoilers.
Honestly: I'm super excited.
They are filming in New Jersey (Elizabeth, to be precise).
They are filming in April and May.
They are expected to be done by mid-June, as JLo starts her concert tour at the end of that month.
The movie is updated slightly to take place in Buenos Aires in 1981 during/after the Dirty War. (The novel took place in 1975.)
Diego is playing Valentín Arregui Paz, the role made famous in the last version of the film by Raúl Julia.
Valentín is a Marxist political prisoner.
Valentín has less solo songs than the other main characters, but still does quite a bit of singing.
Valentín spends a lot of time recovering from torture and beatings inflicted on him by his jailers. He is a bit of a morally grey character (I’m intrigued to see what choices they make in this go-round).
Tonatiuh plays Molina, a hairdresser jailed for "corruption of a minor" (usually read as having a relationship with a younger man, though in the past Molina has also been portrayed as fairly young — the homosexuality is more the crime than the age difference).
JLo plays Aurora, an actress Molina has been obsessed with for years and who gets him through his imprisonment via his fantasies/imagination of her roles and her power.
Molina and Aurora are the main narrators of the film and carry the most musical numbers.
Diego is an Executive Producer on the film (along with JLo and her team; Ben Affleck; and Matt Damon).
There's no expected release date just yet, but likely aiming for an early 2025 premiere.

Trying to recommend people Kiss of the Spider Woman but being like “ok so it’s a love story kind of like it’s about love but it’s debatably unrequited but also they fuck and they would never actually interact if they weren’t cell mates and even though adaptions of it kind of simplify their relationship to an enemies to friends to lovers type thing but it’s actually a secret third thing in the novel and play kind of like they don’t hate each other in the novel but they’re also like annoyed with each other sometimes before they grow to care about each other but also-“ is so difficult but also like it speaks to how Manuel Puig wrote one of the most beautiful and unique relationships in literary history and idk even just in fiction in general I’ve never seen a relationship like theirs before or since
#it’s 4 am idk what I’m talking about#kiss of the spider woman#I need to reread it#I also need to get my copy of the play back from my friend I lent it to them#I wish I could direct the play at my school but we don’t have the population for it and Molina is difficult to cast

Kiss of the Spider Woman has finished filming?? This production has been so mysterious, announced with no cast and wrapping up so quickly with no promos or leaks. Truly the anti-Wicked.

Coeli's Picks: Black, part 2 (Halloween Edition)
(Multiple movies listed left to right)
One Dress a Day Challenge
October: Black Redux
Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985) / Sônia Braga as Leni Lamaison/Marta/Spider Woman
Crimson Peak (2015) / Jessica Chastain as Lady Lucille Sharpe
"I expect others have already jumped on this one, but it's too good not to mention."
Diamonds Are Forever (1971) / Jill St. John as Tiffany Case
Penny Dreadful / Eva Green as Vanessa Ives
"She has several gorgeous black dresses but I'm not sure of episode #s."
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels / Natalie Dormer as Magda (and below)
"I haven't watched Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, but Natalie Dormer as Magda has some great black dresses."
Riverdale (s2e15, "There Will Be Blood") / Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl Blossom
"Cheryl is the character I've referred to as fully aware that she's living in a gothic novel, and embracing it to the hilt. This is her outfit for the reading of her father's will. Such a ludicrous show. I love it so much."
Suspiria (1977) / Joan Bennett as Madame Blanc
"I doubt you'll want to watch Suspiria, the incoherent, bloody, but celebrated Italian horror film, but Joan Bennet as Madame Blanc (head of a dance academy that is also a coven of witches) has a terrific witchy black dress." (Yep, I am a self-admitted total wimp about horror.)
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) / Eva Green as Miss Peregrine
"I'm not actually certain this one is black - might be a very dark blue? Depends on lighting?" (Note: the costume looks black on my screen. Her hair, on the other hand, does seem to have a touch of blue.)
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) / Charlize Theron as Queen Ravenna
Moulin Rouge (2001) / Nicole Kidman as Satine
"The 'Gothic Tower' dress."
