I’ve cast a sparkling movie spell on you!

[rotzaprachim]

in other classical parallels that slapped me on the face in my first reread of kiss of the spider woman and that still haunt me so bad are the idea of the prison system as being the Greek underworld and Molina as Persephone desperate to see her mother again in the world above. Like the cursed food of it all, the pomegranate seeds that mean you stay forever versus the poisoned polenta, the negotiations for food from the world of the living, is this anything

(also circling back into one of the most interesting aspects of puig’s text being the way Molina’s negotiations with the prison admin so deeply reflect the actual situation of the “mujer de la casa” in a traditional married heterosexual relationship especially an abusive one and arguably this is reflected in how deeply ambiguous the films she tells actually are about marriage and relationships even though she says she wants to be someone’s bougie wife in part because that in and of itself feels like an escape…. Molina you have to put your moral autonomy on the line in order to get groceries and soap you ARE the woman of the house stuck in the domestic environ. That’s you)

I need more people to watch the Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025). I need more people to talk about Molina. I need more people to discuss the queer representation. I need more people to talk about Valentin and Molina. I need more people to talk about how Molina expressed her gender identity.

I feel like Polina would see Molotov working later into the night and quietly wrap a blanket around his shoulders and light some candles for him. She wouldn’t say a word so she doesn’t disrupt, and then she’d head to bed and get some rest. She’d probably wake up when he did end up coming to sleep, but she wouldn’t make a big deal out of it or anything. She’d just wrap his arms around him and then close her eyes again

Alfred Molina you beautiful man you!
