Pedro Almodóvar Directs Star-Studded Gay Western Short Film

Pedro Almodóvar's new short film "Strange Way of Life" premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, starring Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke.
The 31-minute film follows two former lovers, a cowboy and a sheriff, who reunite 25 years after a brief affair.
Fashion house Saint Laurent commissioned the film to showcase creative director Anthony Vaccarello's latest designs, which the supporting cast wore to striking effect.
The film received widespread critical acclaim for its visuals, performances, and poignant story, though some saw it primarily as a branding exercise.
Audiences were turned away from the premiere due to ticketing issues but are eager to see the full film upon its 2023 release.
