Beloved Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar returns with two English-language short films Strange Way of Life and The Human Voice.
In Strange Way of Life, after 25 years apart, rancher Silva (Pedro Pascal) rides across the desert to visit his former flame, town sheriff Jake (Ethan Hawke). But after an evening of shared intimacy, reminiscing, and reconciliation, the revelation of both men’s link to a local crime suggests there is more to their meeting than a trip down memory lane.
In The Human Voice, Almodóvar teams up with Tilda Swinton for a loose adaptation of Jean Cocteau’s timeless play of the same name. Swinton delivers a spellbinding solo performance, in which vulnerability and despair turn into a monologue of magnificent obsession.
Leave it to Almodóvar to take our breath away right before galloping into the sunset.
