different expression of love
9 October 2023
A very different approach by Director Pedro Almodovar ( my favorite movies The skin I live in Tie me up! Tie me down! Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown what Have I done to Deserve This....) in making 30 minute short film Strange way of Life and shown before another great short film 30 min long Human Voice. And after two short films a complete interview with Pedro Almodovar explaining his though process in the making of 2 short films with more focus on film Strange Way of Life which is about 2 men Ethan Hawke as Jake and Pedro Pascal as Silva who met in Mexico 25 yrs ago and had a passionate affair for 60 days. Now Silva comes to Jake's town and passion is reignited for Jake who is now a married man and also trying to get justice for killing of his dead brother's wife. Silva has come to see Jake with ulterior motives and Jake being a smart Sheriff sees through reason for Silva's visit. Silva's expression of love for Jake is all about caring and living on a ranch together.

Short film is fantastic and i adore Ethan Hawke in all his movies (Maudie, Boyhood...). Pedro Almodavar's interview at the end of 2 short films is interesting.

Excellent Direction.
