Tonatiuh will be honored at the upcoming Mill Valley Film Festival (MVFF48) with a Spotlight Program and MVFF Award, for “his transformative artistry in Bill Condon’s Kiss of the Spider Woman, bringing emotional depth and fearless authenticity to a role that resonates on both personal and cultural levels.”
As part of the Spotlight celebration, MVFF48 will present a screening of Kiss of the Spider Woman. Director Bill Condon will also attend and join Tonatiuh for a post-screening on-stage conversation.
Dreamgirls and Beauty and the Beast director Bill Condon returns to the movie musical with this dazzling Technicolor-hued fantasy. Valentín (Diego Luna), a political prisoner, shares a cell with Molina (Tonatiuh), a window dresser convicted of public indecency. The two form an unlikely bond as Molina recounts the plot of a Hollywood musical starring his favorite silver screen diva, Ingrid Luna (Jennifer Lopez).
Bill Condon’s visionary new adaptation is based on the acclaimed 1976 novel Kiss of the Spider Woman by Argentinian writer Manuel Puig, and the Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical of the same name by the multiple Tony Award®-winning playwright Terrence McNally (Master Class, Ragtime) and composer/lyricist team John Kander and Fred Ebb (Cabaret, Chicago).
Written for the screen and directed by Bill Condon, it stars Emmy Award® nominee Diego Luna (Andor, Y tu mamá también), Tonatiuh (Carry On, Promised Land), and Emmy®, Grammy®, and Golden Globes Award-nominated superstar Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers, Out of Sight), who also serves as an executive producer alongside Diego Luna.
