Is the movie Kiss of the Spider Woman available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

On behalf of the Stream Tracker team, here’s a quick introduction to Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985) and where to find it on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+. A noir-tinged drama set mostly inside a single cell, the film follows the fragile, unlikely bond between Valentín, a hardened political prisoner, and Molina, a window dresser who escapes reality by recounting technicolor fantasies about his silver-screen diva, Ingrid Luna. William Hurt’s haunting, layered turn as Molina earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor, and the film remains a powerful study of storytelling as refuge, intimacy and political resistance. In the article that follows, we’ll check current streaming availability across Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and AppleTV+ and explain how to watch it legally.

Synopsis

Valentín, imprisoned for his political convictions, is thrown together in a cramped cell with Molina, a flamboyant window-dresser jailed for public indecency. An unlikely companionship grows between them as Molina distracts and uplifts them both with sumptuous, imaginative retellings of a classic Hollywood musical centered on his beloved screen goddess, Ingrid Luna.
