“It’s about masculinity in a deep sense.' Pedro Almodóvar announces his upcoming gay Western short film, starring Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke, will world premiere at Cannes 2023.
Almodóvar described the half-hour film as a “queer Western, in the sense that there are two men and they love each other.” He added that Pascal and Hawke’s characters “behave in that situation in an opposite way.”
“It’s about masculinity in a deep sense, because the Western is a male genre,” Almodóvar said. “What I can tell you about the film is that it has a lot of the elements of the Western — it has the gunslinger, it has the ranch, it has the sheriff — but what it has that most Westerns don’t have is the kind of dialogue that I don’t think a Western film has ever captured between two men. And now I think I’m telling you a little bit too much.
The short is shot in English and is set up at El Deseo, the Almodóvar brothers’ Madrid-based production company. “Strange Way of Life” begins with a man, Silva, riding on a horse across a desert to Bitter Creek. He has come to visit Sheriff Jake. Twenty-five years earlier, the two men worked together as hired gunmen.
Almodóvar previously explained that the film’s title echoes the name of a famous fado written and sung by Amália Rodrigues. Its lyrics claim that there’s no stranger existence than one that ignores one’s own desires — which raises the question as to how much the film could turn on desire.
