From Wikipedia:

Kiss of the Spider Woman is a 1985 drama film directed by Héctor Babenco from a screenplay by Leonard Schrader, based on the 1976 novel by Argentine author Manuel Puig. [...] Set in a Brazilian prison during the military dictatorship, the film centers on a dialogue between two very different cellmates, a hardened leftist revolutionary (Julia) and an apolitical gay man (Hurt). The story utilizes metafictional and film-within-a-film elements, as the latter regales the former with retellings of an old movie, whose themes mirror those of the characters.

The poster artwork is by Richard Mahon.

The primary font on both posters is Newport, with a modified K in “KISS”. On the main poster, Erbar Bold Condensed is used for the associate producers’ credits.
