I’m giving this review a 5 star rating because I love love love this movie. William Hurt and Raul Julia give outstanding performances in a story that is simple yet touching and engrossing to the very last second.br /br /If I was rating the Blu Ray transfer, however, my rating would probably be a 3 or so. I regret to say I haven’t seen the movie pre-Blu Ray, so maybe it’s actually better than I think, but I know a flicker when I see one, and there are quite a few. That’s not to say it looks terrible, the colors were all good and the flickers, though present, were minimal. Certainly I’ve seen worse Blu Rays, but if you’re looking for a really really great crystal clear perfect digital restoration of this fantastic movie, this is unfortunately not it.br /br /All and all this is a good release though. With a small budget and no doubt lack of huge fan base, I’m extremely happy to have this released at all. You can tell they put an effort to give this a justifiable release and are not just trying to milk fans. For a non-mainstream movie, we can’t expect to see the same kind of restoration of this movie as Gone with the Wind or Wizard of Oz, because I’m sure that was very expensive.br /br /If you’re debating on whether or not to get the DVD or Blu Ray, there shouldn’t be much of one. For the first part, they’re the same price, and for the second, Blu Ray is the future. Even if this release isn’t true 1080p brilliance, you might as well start going in that direction. Blu Ray gives you the opportunity to not just see the movie, but live it. To be in the scene, in the moment, in the character. After you’ve seen a couple really great true HD movies, DVDs will look like VHS.

“Kiss of the Spider Woman [VHS] Discount” Overview

IKiss of the Spider Woman/I starts out simply enough, hemmed in by 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. If their film unfolded into the typical prison buddy plot, it’d still be a good movie. But this is a great movie. There are stories twisting within stories, each drawing a new, surprising level of difference between the two heroes: escapism versus realism, romance versus politics, gay versus straight, hero versus coward. As their unstable friendship grows more real, their stories become more vivid–whether Molina’s fondly remembered Nazi propaganda noir, Valentin’s tortured romantic history, or a tropical island fable told merely to pass the time. (Each substory stars Sonia Braga, a neat bit of casting that further blurs the line between fantasy and reality.) By the end, each man has changed just enough to taste the other’s tragedy–a transformation that gives each the strength to define freedom on his own terms, despite the brutality of the prison and the bleak world beyond its walls. I–Grant Balfour/I

Uniquely brilliant – One-Line Film Reviews – Easton, MD
The Bottom Line:br /br /Two men, one an intense political dissident (Raul Julia) and one a mild-mannered daydreamer (William Hurt) are in a South American prison cell together; to say more would give up the twists and turns of this fascinating drama and character study, so I will merely exhort you to go out and see this incredibly interesting film which is unlike any other movie I’ve seen.br /br /3.5/4

Kiss of the Spider Woman – Charlene – Hammond, IN
A “knock-out” film with a great cast. The late Raul Julia was outstanding and William Hurt was equally great. Took a long time for this film to be available on disc, but worth the wait.

Kiss Is Class! – Raif – Missouri City
What a great movie, made better in DVD. Kiss of the Spider Woman is a potent classic but not for everyone.
