Kiss of the Spider Woman (with subtitles)
I recently finished subtitling the best quality bootleg of Kiss of the Spider Woman I could find. In addition to subtitles, I have also edited in proshot b-roll footage where available. I hope some people who haven't been able to see the show are able to enjoy it this way!

Fellas I am looking for more sad musicals to get into. They don’t even have to have a sad ending necessarily, I just want something dramatic to cry to, I’ll put some faves in the tags :^)

Coeli's Picks: Black, part 2 (Halloween Edition)
(Multiple movies listed left to right)
One Dress a Day Challenge
October: Black Redux
Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985) / Sônia Braga as Leni Lamaison/Marta/Spider Woman
Crimson Peak (2015) / Jessica Chastain as Lady Lucille Sharpe
"I expect others have already jumped on this one, but it's too good not to mention."
Diamonds Are Forever (1971) / Jill St. John as Tiffany Case
Penny Dreadful / Eva Green as Vanessa Ives
"She has several gorgeous black dresses but I'm not sure of episode #s."
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels / Natalie Dormer as Magda (and below)
"I haven't watched Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, but Natalie Dormer as Magda has some great black dresses."
Riverdale (s2e15, "There Will Be Blood") / Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl Blossom
"Cheryl is the character I've referred to as fully aware that she's living in a gothic novel, and embracing it to the hilt. This is her outfit for the reading of her father's will. Such a ludicrous show. I love it so much."
Suspiria (1977) / Joan Bennett as Madame Blanc
"I doubt you'll want to watch Suspiria, the incoherent, bloody, but celebrated Italian horror film, but Joan Bennet as Madame Blanc (head of a dance academy that is also a coven of witches) has a terrific witchy black dress." (Yep, I am a self-admitted total wimp about horror.)
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) / Eva Green as Miss Peregrine
"I'm not actually certain this one is black - might be a very dark blue? Depends on lighting?" (Note: the costume looks black on my screen. Her hair, on the other hand, does seem to have a touch of blue.)
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) / Charlize Theron as Queen Ravenna
Moulin Rouge (2001) / Nicole Kidman as Satine
"The 'Gothic Tower' dress."

LOUIS ALBERTO MOLINA from KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN:
JUSTIFICATION:
"While it is very much up for interpretation, and shares space with the interpretation of them as an effeminate gay man, Molina is a person who loves the pretty things in life, and fantasizes about being the actress Aurora, who is free to be flamboyant and beloved by every man who meets her. At the end of the musical, when Molina dies, they get to play Aurora’s beloved role as a Russian princess. Moreover, their cellmate consistently refers to them with gender-neutral terms (other than the pronoun he), such as saying, “I will go mad alone in this cell with this person!”" - Anonymous

Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985). A gay man and a political prisoner are together in a prison. The gay man narrates the stories of two fake movies and his own life.
Oh, I really loved this one. Tenderly told with rich cinematography and transcendent performances from Raul Julia and William Hurt, this is a movie that chooses connection and intimacy in the face of violence and isolation again and again and again. It pulses with both the pain and the release of those choices in a way that had me more than a little misty. A really special watch. 8/10.
