This groundbreaking movie was the first independent film to receive the top four Oscar(c) nominations including Best Picture for Producer David Weisman and Best Director for Hector Babenco. Adapted by Academy Award(c) nominated screenwriter Leonard Schrader from Manuel Puig's world-acclaimed novel set in a non-specific Latin American country, KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN is a story of sex, politics, and obsessive love of movies - under an oppressive right-wing regime. Puig's timeless theme, more relevant today than ever, follows the complex relationship between two radically different men with opposing views of life - the drama builds with powerful emotional crescendo as gradually they converge in a stunning transcendental conclusion. William Hurt delivers his Oscar(c) winning performance in this captivating tribute to the power of film and fantasy as escape from inhumane conditions.When sold by Amazon.com, this product will be manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
