As a sign of the times, City Lights Entertainment is making Hector Babenco's Oscar-winning film Kiss of the Spider Woman available as an exclusive-to-rent or download on Amazon Unbox. It's well worth checking out. Kiss of the Spider Woman was adapted by Leonard Schrader from the 1976 novel El Beso de la Mujer Arana by Manuel Puig. William Hurt won the Oscar as a man who unexpectedly learns to love another prisoner (Raul Julia) in a Latin American jail. Kiss of the Spider Woman, produced by David Weisman, was the first indie to nab four top Oscar noms, including best picture and best director for Hector Babenco.
