Rating:  - Wonderful Movie
Great, thought proking movie. A well deserved Oscar for William Hurt and great performance by the late, wonderful Raul Julia.
Rating: - Spider Woman on Blu-ray
I can honestly say after all these years of watching a crummy VHS copy of *Kiss Of The Spider Woman* that I never thought I''d see the film finally hit DVD. To my surprise it jumped to Blu-ray too. Quick note before the Blu-ray review. The two disc standard DVD edition is selling for 34 dollars exclusively on Amazon. While the Blu-ray edition is selling for only 27 dollars exclusively on Amazon. Both editions include the exact same features except the Blu-ray is of course in 1080p HD. If you've got a blu-ray player, it's a no brainer which one to buy.
The Blu-ray image for *Kiss Of The Spider Woman* is good. On a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the best. I'd give this a 2.5 to 3. The image is not perfect. This is a very low budget film made in the early 80's. The print source has clearly not been kept in the best of conditions. I suppose they did the best they could restoring it. There are scratch marks every once in a while. Not a lot, but enough to notice. There's usually presence of grain through out the entire film. This is to be expected though. Grain is simply a natural element seen in most movies. Blu-ray just makes it clearer now. Lets talk about the positive now. The color is fantastic. This is such a gritty and dark film that I was surprised by how much the color stuck out. The film uses a lot of natural lighting. William Hurt's red lipstick or his red dress really stick out. Even the dirt and grime in the corner of the jail cell. This is where Blu-ray clearly shows it's superiority. ... Read More
Rating: - KISS OF THE SPIDERWOMAN 2 DISC EXCLUSIVE EDITION
THE MOVIE IS QUITE GRIM. BUT THATS ONLY ON THE SURFACE.HURTS AND JULIAS PERFORMANCES ARE MIND BOGGLING. THEY LITERALY SUCK YOU INTO THE MOVIE . WILLIAM HURT IS DRFINATLY GAY. WHILE RAUL JULIAS IS A POLITICAL PRISONER. THEY COULDNT BE MORE OPPOSITE. BUT THATS THE BEAUTY OF THE FILM MAINLY JULIAS ACCEPTANCE of THE GAY HURT. THE EXTRAS ON THE SECOND DISK ARE FANTASTIC I WOULD RECOMEND THIS. IF YOU HAVE PREJUCES IN GAYS I ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEE THIS. AND YOU WILL FIND THAT THE HUMAN SPIRIT IS AT WORK HERE. THIS MOVIE MAY NOT BE FOR EVERYONE' BUT IF YOU LIKE GREAT ACTING, AND TWO PEOPLE MOST OF THE MOVIE TRAPPED IN A PRISON CELL. GIVE IT A LOOK. 5 STARS.
Rating:  - very disappointing transfer quality
I am delighted to finally have this movie in my movie collection again. I have sorely missed this title since I got rid of my laserdiscs. But I am shocked by the quality of the transfer. I consider my standards low - I have been thrilled with the quality of some titles that have been poorly reviewed by those with higher standards, like reviewers at dvdfile and highdefdigest. But I was truly shocked by this title. I am sure that my laser looked better. And this is a blu-ray! Still, I am thrilled to at least have the film, and the documentary included is outstanding. I do hope that this title receives the attention of professional reviewers. Consumers need to be warned by voices they trust.
