Plot

[edit]

After 25 years' absence, Silva rides a horse across the desert to visit his friend Jake who is now the Sheriff of a small Wild West town. Jake is informed by one of the town residents that the suspect in the recent murder of his brother's widow who was last seen leaving her home looked like her violent boyfriend Joe. Sworn to look after his brother's wife, Jake takes it upon himself to arrest her killer personally. He is surprised when Silva shows up, and the two have dinner and reminisce about their youth before having sex. The next morning, Silva tries to remind Jake of his idea of the two of them owning a ranch together, but Jake rebuffs him, accusing Silva of trying to use him: Joe is Silva's son, and he suspects Silva has only arrived in town now after being gone for 25 years to help Joe escape. They argue and Silva leaves to find Joe. Jake follows him and the two men separately recall an afternoon in their youth when they first had sex.

The next day, Silva finds Joe at home on his ranch and angrily excoriates him, giving him just enough money and a horse to cross to Mexico, telling him to never return. Jake surprises Joe and the two fight, until they both pull their revolvers out on one another. Silva pulls a rifle on Joe, warning him not to shoot Jake and to take the horse and go. He does so, but as Jake moves to fire on Joe, Silva shoots Jake clean through the flesh of his waist. He drags Jake into the house and tends to his wound, telling him the shot has been clean and that he will be fine. Jake says he will have Silva arrested for attempted murder, but Silva counters that his missing the shot and subsequently tending to Jake's wound would throw that motive out. As they sit there, Silva recalls that Jake once asked him what two men could possibly do together on a ranch alone, and Silva tells him that they could keep each other company and take care of one another.

Production

[edit]

In June 2022, it was announced that Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal would star in Pedro Almodóvar's short film A Strange Way of Life.[4] It is produced by Almodóvar's El Deseo in association with Yves Saint Laurent, whose head designer Anthony Vaccarello also served as an associate producer and the film's costume designer.[5] Almódovar worked with recurring collaborators such as cinematographer José Luis Alcaine and composer Alberto Iglesias, whilst Teresa Font took over film editing.[6] The film is titled after a 1960s Portuguese fado song by Amália Rodrigues.[7]

Speaking on Dua Lipa's podcast At Your Service, Almodóvar described the film thus:[8]

"A queer Western, in the sense that there are two men and they love each other. It's about masculinity in a deep sense because the Western is a male genre. 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."

Principal photography began in August 2022 in the Tabernas Desert, southern Spain and wrapped in September.[4][7][9]

Release

[edit]

Strange Way of Life premiered in the Special Screenings section of the Cannes Film Festival on 17 May 2023.[10][11][12] It was also screened in the Acclaimed section of the 27th Lima Film Festival on 13 August 2023.[13] In advance of its North American release, the film was screened at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival in September as part of a special "In Conversation With..." event with Almodóvar.[14]

The film was released theatrically in Spain on 26 May 2023 by BTeam Pictures.[15] Mubi distributed the film in Italy and Latin America, while Pathé released it in the United Kingdom.[16] Sony Pictures Classics released the film in the United States on 6 October 2023,[17] releasing it also in other markets (excluding France, Belgium, Switzerland and markets already covered by BTeam, Mubi and Pathé).[18][19]

This is the last Almodóvar film to be distributed by the UK branch of Pathé before it exited the British film market in November 2023 (one month after the film's release).[20]

Reception

[edit]

Critical response

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 77% of 97 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.1/10. The website's consensus reads: "A tantalizing glimpse of the bond between two people, the well-acted Strange Way of Life adds a brief but still rewarding chapter to Pedro Almodóvar's filmography."[21]

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian described the film in his four-star review as "a queer Western with a hint of kink", adding that "there is some very robust and old-fashioned storytelling here and Strange Way of Life feels quite old-fashioned in its way."[22]

Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood praised Hawke and Pascal for bringing "authenticity and a believable lived-in feel to their characters and this relationship",[23] while David Fear of Rolling Stone reviewed Strange Way of Life as "a provocative movie that brings out the best in both of its leads".[24]

In his negative review for Variety, Peter Debruge [de; ru] called the film "a glorified fashion commercial" for Yves Saint Laurent, adding that "the use of models instead of actors betrays what this really is: a branding exercise, both for Almodóvar and costumier Vaccarello, plus two stars eager to show their allyship."[25]

Synopsis

Plot Summary

Silva (), a rancher, rides horseback across the desert to the town of Bitter Creek after an absence of 25 years to visit his old companion, Jake (). The two men, former gunslingers who shared a brief romantic relationship during their youth in , reunite warmly, sharing drinks and conversation about their past adventures. The following day, they embark on a horseback ride into the , where they engage in target practice and reminisce about their intense physical passion from decades earlier, including flashbacks to intimate encounters. Jake confronts Silva about the true reason for his visit: Jake's deputies have identified Silva's son, Joe (George Steane), as the prime suspect in the recent murder of Jake's sister-in-law, the widow of Jake's deceased brother, whom Jake had vowed to protect. Silva admits he traveled to Bitter Creek intending to kill Joe himself to address the crime, but urges Jake to abandon his pursuit of justice due to their shared history. Jake refuses, citing his duty as sheriff, leading to heightened tension between the former lovers. Silva departs to warn Joe of the impending pursuit. Jake tracks them to a confrontation involving all three men, where Silva shoots Jake in the side—non-fatally—to enable Joe's escape.

Cast and Characters

Principal Roles

Ethan Hawke portrays Sheriff Jake, a lawman who has established a stable life in a remote town but grapples with memories of youthful exploits alongside his old friend Silva. Pedro Pascal plays Silva, a wandering who traverses the after 25 years to reconnect with Jake, motivated by a concealed intent involving vengeance tied to their intertwined histories. Almodóvar cast Hawke and Pascal specifically for these leads in the director's second English-language short film, following (2020), leveraging their capacities for nuanced emotional depth in dialogue-heavy confrontations. Contemporary reviews observed Hawke's understated restraint in conveying Jake's suppressed regrets and Pascal's charged intensity in embodying Silva's unresolved desires.

Manu Ríos portrays the singer in the film, performing the title song "Strange Way of Life" by Amália Rodrigues in a brief opening sequence. Known for his role in the series , Ríos, born in 1998, has emerged as a prominent figure in Spanish-language television and film, with appearances in projects like La Casa de Papel spin-offs prior to this Almodóvar collaboration. Jason Fernández plays the younger version of Jake in flashback scenes, contributing to the narrative's exploration of past events. A Madrid-born from 1994, Fernández has credits in Spanish series such as (2022) and (2023), marking his involvement in Strange Way of Life as an early international role.

Production

Development and Writing

Pedro Almodóvar wrote the original screenplay for Strange Way of Life in English, marking his second English-language after (2020). The project was publicly announced in June 2022, with Almodóvar positioning it as his conceptual "answer" to (2005), a feature he had been offered to direct but ultimately declined due to its length and scope. In interviews, he emphasized drawing thematic inspiration from classic Westerns by and , subverting their conventions with explicit homoerotic undertones centered on two men reuniting after 25 years apart. Specific influences included Ford's (1956) for its exploration of regret and unfulfilled bonds, which Almodóvar adapted into a terse tale of past passion and present conflict. The film's 31-minute runtime was intentional from conception, allowing Almodóvar to focus on visual economy and emotional intensity rather than expansive plotting. Development advanced with production backing from Saint Laurent Productions, the fashion house's newly launched film division, which greenlit the project and sponsored elements like costumes by to evoke Western archetypes through modern sartorial precision. This collaboration enabled Almodóvar to realize his vision of a "strange" Western unbound by feature-length constraints, prioritizing stylistic homage over narrative diffusion.

Casting and Pre-production

Almodóvar cast as Sheriff Jake and as Silva as his initial choices for the protagonists, selected for their contrasting physical appearances, cultural origins, and ages in their fifties to foster dynamic on-screen chemistry between the characters. The director, acquainted with both actors, delivered the finalized script directly to them, eliciting positive responses on the same day and resulting in the quickest casting of his career. Their established international profiles contributed to the film's appeal, while their native English proficiency aligned with the short's dialogue requirements. Pre-production preparations encompassed in Province, , particularly the , whose barren terrain replicates the American Old West and features sets constructed for Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns. This choice enabled efficient production logistics while evoking genre authenticity without international travel. Saint Laurent, through its newly formed production arm, co-financed the project and supplied costumes designed by creative director , incorporating high-end tailoring to underscore the film's stylistic fusion of western tropes and contemporary aesthetics. Composer , a frequent Almodóvar collaborator, was engaged in June 2022 to create the original score ahead of filming, building on his work for the director's prior short .

Filming and Technical Aspects

for Strange Way of Life took place over several weeks in August and September 2022, primarily in the of Almería Province, , a location renowned for its arid landscapes used in classic spaghetti Westerns by directors such as . The production wrapped on September 4, 2022, leveraging the region's natural rock formations and vast open terrain to authentically recreate Old West settings without extensive set construction. Cinematographer José Luis Alcaine, a longtime collaborator of director Pedro Almodóvar, captured the film using an ARRI Alexa 35 digital camera paired with ARRI Signature Prime lenses, emphasizing expansive wide shots to highlight the desolate vistas and enhance the Western genre's sense of isolation and scale. This approach prioritized practical lighting from the harsh desert sun, minimal , and a textured visual style that evoked the genre's mythic quality while maintaining the film's intimate 31-minute runtime. In , editor Teresa Font refined the footage for tight pacing, focusing on rhythmic cuts that build tension between dialogue-driven scenes and landscape interludes. Composer provided the score, incorporating subtle string and percussion elements to underscore emotional undercurrents, with emphasizing natural ambient noises like wind and horse hooves for realism. Costumes from Yves Saint Laurent, serving as both stylistic and narrative elements, were integrated during this phase to align with the film's thematic homage to Western attire. The work was finalized by late 2022, enabling the film's world premiere at the in May 2023.

Themes and Analysis

Genre Conventions and Subversion

Strange Way of Life incorporates core Western genre conventions such as gunslingers riding across vast desert expanses, revolver duels, and ethical conflicts between upholding the law and honoring personal loyalties, set in a frontier town where a sheriff confronts a former partner's familial ties to a recent killing. The film's 31-minute runtime frames these elements within a reunion narrative spanning 25 years, mirroring the interpersonal tensions and moral reckonings typical of the genre. Director drew from classic Westerns, explicitly citing Howard Hawks's Red River (1948) for its portrayal of fraught male bonds amid frontier strife, adapting such dynamics to his story of two aging cowboys whose paths reconverge. This homage extends to visual motifs like sun-baked horizons and minimalist saloons, evoking the stark pioneered in American and Italian Westerns. The subverts these conventions by foregrounding a prior sexual relationship between the protagonists—a detail conveyed through direct —disrupting the genre's conventional of rugged, implicitly heterosexual rooted in lone-wolf and fraternal . This infusion of explicit homoerotic history reframes the Western's themes of desire and violence, positioning intimacy as a counterforce to the code of the gun rather than its mere backdrop. Yet, the short format curtails substantive , as reviewers observed that while the lens reworks scenarios, it yields a "thin frontier drama" where stylistic nods to Western aesthetics—such as operatic close-ups and color-saturated vistas—predominate over probing the causal tensions between , , and . Almodóvar's approach thus honors empirical markers but constrains depth, resulting in surface-level challenges to heroic norms without fully interrogating their ideological underpinnings.

Character Dynamics and Relationships

The central relationship in Strange Way of Life revolves around and Jake, two former gunslingers who shared a passionate two-month affair 25 years prior to the film's events, marked by intense camaraderie amid violence during their time riding together across the frontier. 's arrival in Jake's town, where Jake serves as , appears driven by vengeance for the death of 's son at the hands of Jake's son Joe in a recent , yet this motive proves secondary to 's deeper intent to revive their romantic bond and settle together on a . Their interactions realistically depict how longstanding emotional ties and mutual desire can erode the practicality of retribution, as forgoes lethal confrontation after they reconsummate their physical connection, prioritizing personal fulfillment over familial justice. This dynamic underscores a causal tension where past intimacy causally supplants immediate vendetta, reflecting the characters' agency constrained by unresolved longing rather than abstract moral imperatives. Jake's relationship with his son Joe introduces a countervailing force of paternal loyalty, positioning family legacy as a barrier to individual desires; despite Silva's pleas to abandon Joe and escape retribution, Jake adheres to his duty as father and lawman, ultimately departing alone to safeguard his son's future amid looming consequences from the killing. This paternal motivation manifests in Jake's repeated assertions of responsibility, highlighting realism in how blood ties exert pull against personal agency, even when the son embodies moral ambiguity through his role in the fatal altercation. Silva's own unresolved over his deceased son fuels his initial pretext but yields to self-interest, illustrating interpersonal motivations where vendetta serves as a rationalization for proximity rather than an end in itself, though this shift lacks fuller exploration of his . Performances by as Silva and as Jake contribute to the perceived authenticity of their chemistry, with director describing it as "subtle" yet "absolutely erotic," emphasizing the actors' ability to convey layered tension through restrained physicality and dialogue. Hawke has noted Pascal's appeal as a "very attractive and extremely talented man," attributing their onscreen rapport to mutual respect that mirrors the characters' fraught history. Critiques, however, point to underdeveloped motives among supporting figures like Joe, whose aggression and backstory receive minimal scrutiny, limiting the realism of relational stakes beyond the protagonists' dyad and rendering family tensions more declarative than causally nuanced.

Stylistic and Symbolic Elements

Almodóvar employs his characteristic vibrant color palette, featuring saturated and reds, to heighten emotional intensity and underscore the protagonists' restrained longing in the arid Western setting. These hues, including a prominent emerald green jacket on , contrast the film's subdued desert landscapes, fostering visual intimacy that amplifies the narrative's themes of unspoken desire without overt exposition. Intense close-up framing further enhances this efficacy, capturing subtle glances and physical proximity to convey the characters' internal conflicts more potently than dialogue alone, though some observers note the technique's familiarity in Almodóvar's oeuvre limits its novelty in the short format. Costumes, designed by Anthony Vaccarello for Yves Saint Laurent—which also produced the —serve as symbolic markers of refined elegance juxtaposed against the genre's gritty frontier, with tailored pieces like tailored pants and a green denim jacket evoking classic Western icons such as Jimmy Stewart's attire while signaling the characters' poised, conflicted identities. This design choice bolsters storytelling by visually differentiating the leads' reunion from raw archetypes, yet critics argue it prioritizes sartorial display over depth, rendering the protagonists as "clothes horses" in what resembles a branded exercise rather than substantive character development. The score by frequent collaborator integrates see-sawing strings and subtle motifs to evoke melancholy introspection, diverging from bombastic Western conventions toward a tension that mirrors the protagonists' unresolved tensions and amplifies the film's homoerotic undercurrents. Complementing this, symbolic elements like Silva's horseback journey across the desert after 25 years functions as a for the precarious, fleeting nature of their past connection, visually bridging separation and reunion while critiquing the impossibility of sustained intimacy in their world—though its overtness in the 31-minute runtime has drawn comments on underdeveloped subtlety. Proponents hail these choices for their poetic compression of genre subversion into evocative shorthand, yet detractors contend the emphasis on aesthetic flourish occasionally eclipses causality, diluting the symbolic weight in favor of surface allure.

Reception

Critical Evaluation

Strange Way of Life received generally positive reviews from critics, earning a 77% approval rating on based on 99 reviews. Praise centered on the performances of and , whose chemistry conveyed erotic tension and emotional depth in the 31-minute runtime. Reviewers highlighted the leads' ability to infuse homoerotic undertones into classic Western archetypes, with the noting how Hawke and Pascal "inject homoerotic tension into their classically male personae" in a provocative exploration of Old West myths. Almodóvar's visual style also drew acclaim for its bold subversion of genre conventions, blending vibrant aesthetics with themes in a manner resonant for his admirers, who appreciated the film's sensual riff on repression. Criticisms focused on the short film's brevity, which some argued resulted in an underdeveloped plot and superficial character arcs, leaving emotional stakes feeling unresolved. The Guardian described the material as "meagre" and the writing as inauthentic, despite stylish execution and a strong score. Variety critiqued the Yves Saint Laurent-commissioned production for prioritizing fashion over substance, reducing its gay cowboy protagonists to "clothes horses" in a narrative that favored aesthetics over narrative depth. Comparisons to underscored a divide, with Almodóvar enthusiasts valuing the unrepentant gaze and happy undertones as a direct response to the earlier 's tragic restraint, while detractors saw it as lacking the fuller dramatic weight of Ang Lee's feature.

Audience and Commercial Response

Audience reception to Strange Way of Life has been mixed, with viewers frequently praising the performances of and for their chemistry and restraint, while critiquing the film's 31-minute runtime for constraining narrative depth and emotional payoff. On , it holds a 6.2/10 rating from over 13,000 users, reflecting appreciation for its visual style and subversion of Western tropes but disappointment over underdeveloped character motivations and a sense of incompleteness akin to a promotional sketch rather than a standalone story. discussions, including on , echo this divide, with fans of the leads noting strong homoerotic tension but others arguing the overt sexual elements serve trope inversion without substantive resolution, limiting broader resonance beyond identity-focused audiences. Commercially, the short film achieved modest theatrical earnings, grossing approximately $1.06 million worldwide following its limited U.S. release on 276 screens, where it debuted with $205,000—reflecting its niche appeal and brief format rather than wide blockbuster potential. Its availability on Netflix from April 2024 onward expanded reach to streaming audiences, though no official viewership metrics have been disclosed, aligning with the platform's selective data release for non-flagship titles. Skeptical voices on platforms like Reddit have questioned promotional framing as a "queer Western" milestone, viewing it as prioritizing representational signaling over universal storytelling that might drive sustained commercial interest.

Awards Recognition

Strange Way of Life, screened out of competition at the , received a for the Queer Palm in the category on May 26, 2023, an award highlighting LGBTQ+-themed works parallel to the main competition. The film did not win the Queer Palm, which went to another entry, nor was it eligible for the due to its non-competitive status and 31-minute runtime. Beyond Cannes, the short earned a 2024 nomination for an Astra Award from the Astra Film Awards, though specifics on the category remain tied to its lead performances by and . It did not secure nominations at major ceremonies like the or European Film Awards, nor did it advance to Academy Award contention despite the live-action short category's eligibility for works under 40 minutes. The film's awards trajectory underscores the inherent limitations of short-form cinema, which prioritizes festival exposure over trophy hauls; unlike features, shorts rarely dominate broader circuits, with empirical data showing only a fraction—historically under 1% of submissions—progressing to Oscar nods amid thousands of annual entries.
