The important political value of this movie is the release synchronicity with black lives matter demonstrations urged by George Floyd murder. Some aesthetically choices, like the present actors playing their younger selves without any de-aging (this happens just in the end with a ridiculous makeup), are really gripping, cause shows the atemporal quality of memory. The war lives in them until today, such as the racial prejudice in USA. Further, the Delroy Lindo's monologue its perfect.
And its for these…

There is something about this film that is really great and is the way it mobilizes our feelings. The agile cuts, collours, framework, gazes...
However, the caricatural performance and the white guy that feels himself black caught my attention since the beginning of the movie. Maybe the non-black director has a finger here.
I guess also it looses potentiality when do not make room to the spectator. There is no ambiguity, poetry (ok the rap contributes to the emotion but it was quite simple, literal?)
The end, despite the emotion, does not make a good point and they let the masculinity out of sight.Translated from by

Kiss of the Spider Woman 1985
O cinema, seu relato e memória, se torna escapismo e espaço de desejo para uma mulher trans e um preso político. A cela se torna um espaço muito maior, porque cabe a Europa e a ilha da mulher aranha. Espaço também de cuidado, parceria e contato humano. Não tinha como não gostar desse filme. Além de tudo nos mostra o centro de SP na década de 80 que surpreendentemente encaixou perfeitamente com a narrativa.
