.From the screenwriter of \u201cChicago\u201d and the director of \u201cGods and Monsters\u201d, \u201cKinsey\u201d and \u201cDream Girls\u201d comes the cinematic production of the Tony award winner musical \u201cThe Kiss of the Spider Woman\u201d, based on a 1976 novel by Argentinian writer Manuel Puig.<\/p>\n

Valentin, a political prisoner, shares a cell with Molina, a window dresser who was arrested for indecent exposure. The two make an unexpected connection when Molina tells the plot of an old Hollywood music film named \u201cThe Kiss of the Spider Woman\u201d starring his favorite diva, Ingrid Luna.<\/p>\n

Aside from the spectacular visual design of the film, you can find three talented actors moving between drama, dancing and singing like they\u2019ve been doing it on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Lopez is giving a performance of a lifetime- hypnotizing and unforgettable as if she was born to play the Latina Diva Ingrid Luna. Diego Luna (\u201cAndor\u201d, \u201cY tu mama tambien\u201d) is Valentin, in one of his best performances and Tonatiuh (\u201cCarry-on\u201d) is truly a rising star.<\/p>\n
