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.

Opinion | Beware Western Hypocrisy When It Comes to Human Rights at the World CupAs the old saying goes, look in the mirror before you judge others. Oh FFS, they throw gays off of buildings in Iraq and Iran, In the UAE they behead us so spare me the long history of LGBTQs in the Muslim world of poetry or art. The same in Qatar. So spare me. Only straight people would print this ridiculous piece of trash. Pro sports is about corporate profits. Sell a corporation on the idea they can make money and one of them will bite. Competitiveness and winning games are only selling pitches. Entertainment is what puts cash in their pockets is the primary objective above athletes.
