"Valentín (Diego Luna), a political prisoner, shares a cell with Molina (Tonatiuh), a window dresser convicted of public indecency. The two form an unlikely bond as Molina recounts the plot of a Hollywood musical starring his favourite silver screen diva, Ingrid Luna/ Aurora/ The Spider Woman (Jennifer Lopez)."
"It is a love letter, in a way, to the Latin community and to the queer community, this movie. Because in a time like this, when those communities are being demonised and marginalised, this is a big movie with three Latin stars in it, with the lead being from the queer community as well. So, again, I feel like this story, as many times as it's been told, needed to be told again."
"in times of hate, love is the answer, and that's really what the movie is about."
Kiss of the Spider Woman is an upcoming musical drama starring Jennifer Lopez, adapted from the 1992 stage musical and the 1976 novel by Manuel Puig. The film follows Valentín, a political prisoner, and Molina, a window dresser, who form an unlikely bond as Molina recounts a Hollywood musical featuring Ingrid Luna/The Spider Woman. The project emphasizes Latin representation with three Latin stars and centers a lead from the queer community. The film frames love as a response to hate and suggests art, beauty, music and movies offer refuge during difficult times. Premiere occurred at Sundance in January; theatrical release is set for 10 October.
