In the film adaptation of the classic Kander and Ebb musical “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” Jennifer Lopez delivers a captivating performance, masterfully blending fantasy and drama.
She portrays Aurora, a seductive fantasy woman imagined by Luis Molina, a gay hairdresser imprisoned in Argentina circa 1981 along with Valentin Arregui Paz, a Marxist.
The trailer showcases the film’s striking balance of raw, gritty reality and nostalgic, old-Hollywood glamour.
As Aurora, Jennifer Lopez seamlessly navigates dreamlike sequences and captivating musical numbers with a powerful story of unlikely friendship between two prisoners from different worlds, forced to confront their differences in a harsh prison environment.
The movie is written and directed by Bill Condon, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind Dreamgirls and Beauty and the Beast (2017) and the writer of Chicago and The Greatest Showman.
Jennifer Lopez will make her movie musical debut in “Kiss of the Spider Woman” and also serves as a co-producer on the film, alongside Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and 12 others.
Kiss of the Spider Woman is coming to theaters this fall.
