Jennifer Lopez Gets Emotional as Her Musical Kiss of the Spider Woman Gets Standing Ovation at Sundance Film Festival: ‘I Was Mesmerized’

by

At the recent Sundance Film Festival, I found myself overcome with emotion as I watched my movie, “Kiss of the Spider-Woman,” receive a thunderous standing ovation. It was an incredibly moving moment for me to be part of such a prestigious event and witness the audience’s heartfelt appreciation for our work.

The actress, who also happens to be an accomplished singer, donned a gown adorned with shimmering patterns as she eagerly shared that this specific moment had long been anticipated throughout her entire life.

Lopez mentioned that her mother played a significant role in her joining the film industry. She fondly remembered how her mom would let her watch “West Side Story” once a year, and each time she did, Lopez felt drawn to the screen, declaring, “That’s what I want to do.” This year marked the first time she got the opportunity to be a part of it.

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to highlight that Bill Condon was instrumental in bringing the magical world of our musical to life. Indeed, he made it all happen, and for that, I am deeply appreciative.

Without delving too deep, let me clarify that the filmmaker mentioned earlier has risen to prominence in Hollywood’s movie scene. This is due to his exceptional musical films like Chicago, Dreamgirls, the live-action Beauty and the Beast remake, as well as The Greatest Showman featuring Hugh Jackman.

In reminiscing about my past at the Sundance Film Festival, I found myself reflecting on my journey that began here 27 years ago. Back in 1998, I made my debut at this esteemed event with my period drama, “Gods and Monsters.” It was an unforgettable experience to be a part of such a prestigious film festival, one that has continued to inspire and captivate me throughout the years.

The film revolves around the character of Luis Molina, portrayed by Tonatiuh, who spends time in a prison after being convicted of a sexual relationship with another man. Alongside Tonatiuh, Diego Luna appears in this movie, which takes place within an Argentinian penitentiary.
