If you loved Carandiru, try Kuß der Spinnenfrau
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Héctor Babenco, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Carandiru, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Kuß der Spinnenfrau is
Cellmates and opposites clash in a Latin American prison. A jailed journalist swaps cellblocks with a window-dresser spinning celluloid romances. The movies keep them alive and collide with reality.
