Kiss of the Spider Woman 4K 1985

The film is an exploration of the political, psychological, and sexual undercurrents in a heavily guarded South American prison. Argentinian revolutionary Valentín Arregui, a political prisoner, shares a cell with the tall and mannered Luis Molina, who is accused of sexual crimes against minors and is being used by the authorities to extract information from Arregui about his friends' revolutionary activities. To pass the time, Luis begins to recount a complicated and intriguing melodrama he saw several years ago. While the former tries to escape reality, Valentin thinks about the reasons for the current situation. He is not interested in these stories, but he gradually gets drawn in and begins to follow the plot. They have nothing in common, but it is precisely their hopeless situation that forces them to seek mutual understanding. Molina recognizes what a strong, noble man is in the cell with him. Luis is conditionally released from prison and tries to secretly carry out Valentin's assignment, but total police surveillance leads to a tragic denouement.
