This fall experience two short films from director Pedro Almodóvar: Strange Way of Life starring Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke and The Human Voice starring Tilda Swinton.

STRANGE WAY OF LIFE (2023)

A man rides a horse across the desert that separates him from Bitter Creek. He comes to visit Sheriff Jake. Twenty-five years earlier, both the sheriff and Silva, the rancher who rides out to meet him, worked together as hired gunmen. Silva visits him with the excuse of reuniting with his friend from his youth, and they do indeed celebrate their meeting, but the next morning Sheriff Jake tells him that the reason for his trip is not to go down the memory lane of their old friendship….

THE HUMAN VOICE (2020)

Pedro Almodóvar’s new short film starring Tilda Swinton, freely based on Jean Cocteau’s play. A woman watches time passing next to the suitcases of her ex-lover (who is supposed to come pick them up, but never arrives) and a restless dog who doesn’t understand that his master has abandoned him.

“The richly acted, sumptuously photographed Strange Way of Life lives up to its title as a revisionist Western that embraces its classical genre roots while also carving out a very modern way of looking at the past.” – Stephen Garrett, Observer

“There is some very robust and old-fashioned storytelling here and Strange Way of Life feels quite old-fashioned in its way.” – Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

“Almodóvar’s sense of cinema design – the décor simulates a luxe apartment and lays it bare as a soundstage illusion – is acutely keyed to Swinton’s performance here, which projects mercurial emotion with Swiss watch precision.” – Glenn Kenny, New York Times
