“I pity people who don’t like musicals.” Join us for this special preview screening of Kiss of the Spider Woman, courtesy of Roadshow Films.

Oscar winning filmmaker Bill Condon (Dreamgirls, Gods and Monsters) returns to the movie musical in this dazzling Technicolor-hued fantasy, starring Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers, Out of Sight). Under Argentinian military dictatorship Valentín (Diego Luna; Andor, Y tu mamá también), a political prisoner, shares a cell with Molina (Tonatiuh; Carry-On, Vida), a queer window dresser convicted of public indecency. The two form an unlikely bond as they escape from their grim reality through Molina’s recounting of a MGM-style Hollywood musical starring his favourite silver screen diva, Ingrid Luna (Lopez).

Based on Manuel Puig’s 1976 novel – previously brought to the screen in 1985 starring William Hurt and Raul Julia – this timely yet timeless tale is adapted from the 1993 Tony Award-winning Broadway musical hit by acclaimed playwright Terrence McNally (Master Class, Ragtime) and composer/lyricist team John Kander and Fred Ebb (Cabaret, Chicago).

“Condon confirms that he’s simply unrivaled when it comes to directing movie musicals, and the three leads deliver a trifecta of tour de forces.” – The Daily Beast
