AFI Latin American Film Festival Centerpiece Screening: KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMANArgentina, 1983. Valentín (Diego Luna), a political prisoner, shares a cell with Molina (Tonatiuh), a window dresser convicted of public indecency. Both victims of the brutal military dictatorship, they form an unlikely bond as Molina recounts the plot of a Hollywood musical starring his favorite silver-screen diva, Ingrid Luna (Jennifer Lopez). DREAMGIRLS director Bill Condon returns to the movie musical in this dazzling, Technicolor-hued fantasy featuring a remarkable star-turn from Lopez and a breakthrough performance from newcomer Tonatiuh. Condon’s visionary new adaptation is based on the acclaimed novel by Argentinian writer Manuel Puig and the Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical by renowned playwright Terrence McNally (“Master Class”, “Ragtime”) and composer/lyricist team John Kander and Fred Ebb (“Cabaret”, “Chicago”). (Note adapted from Roadside Attractions.)
