Raúl Julia and William Hurt are equally amazing in their roles. I also believe Julia deserved a nomination, even if the outcome was the same in the end. Great review!Lêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722895377719228596.post-60949777088999441492018-09-22T04:07:19.027-05:002018-09-22T04:07:19.027-05:00Hurt's performance (and Julia's too) make ...Hurt's performance (and Julia's too) make it fascinating for me.

I haven't seen "Spider Woman" since it came out and I confess I wasn't too crazy about it then, but your write-up has intrigued me enough to want to give it another look -- I may enjoy it more the second time around. Thanks to you and Chris for this equally intriguing blogathon -- what a great idea!Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053290865549099074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722895377719228596.post-74127231409576958722018-09-21T07:12:26.819-05:002018-09-21T07:12:26.819-05:00This is a beautiful film I have not seen for years...This is a beautiful film I have not seen for years and years. I LOVE Hurt's sensitive and realistic portrayal of the effeminate homosexual, but the amazing Raul Julia is just as powerful (I hope people remember him, he was such a STAR) and Sonia Braga is also iconic.<br /><br />I saw the Broadway musical version of this years ago with the great Chita Rivera as the Spider Woman. Great performance, but the movie is so much more moving and dream-like...<br /><br />Quiggy, what a great film to choose for our beloved Blogathon! Thank you for everything, my dear friend!!<br />-Chris<br />angelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722895377719228596.post-87359328568669826802018-09-21T06:20:38.770-05:002018-09-21T06:20:38.770-05:00I love the idea of the worlds of politics and imag...I love the idea of the worlds of politics and imagination that clash in these two characters.
