Kiss of the Spiderwoman Takes Amazon Route
As a sign of the times, City Lights Entertainment is making Hector Babenco's Oscar-winning film Kiss of the Spider Woman available as an exclusive-to-rent or download on Amazon Unbox. It's well worth checking out.
Kiss of the Spider Woman was adapted by Leonard Schrader from the 1976 novel El Beso de la Mujer Arana by Manuel Puig. William Hurt won the Oscar as a man who unexpectedly learns to love another prisoner (Raul Julia) in a Latin American jail. Kiss of the Spider Woman, produced by David Weisman, was the first indie to nab four top Oscar noms, including best picture and best director for Hector Babenco.
There's also a new doc, Tangled Web: Making Kiss of the Spider Woman, available on DVD or Unbox download. You can now rent the pic from Amazon Unbox for $2.99 for 30 days, or download to own for $9.99. Or wait until July 22 to get the Standard Definition and Blu-ray Special-Edition DVDs.
