Detalles del Producto All About My Mother

Descripción

After her son is killed in an accident, Manuela (Cecilia Roth) leaves Madrid for her old haunts in Barcelona. She reconnects with an old friend, a pre-op transsexual prostitute named La Agrado (Antonia San Juan), who introduces her to Rosa (Penlope Cruz), a young nun who turns out to be pregnant. Meanwhile, Manuela becomes a personal assistant for Huma Rojo (Marisa Paredes), an actress currently playing Blanche DuBois in a production of A Streetcar Named Desire. All About My Mother traces the delicate web of friendship and loss that binds these women together. The movie is dedicated to the actresses of the world, so it's not surprising that all the performances are superb. Roth in particular anchors All About My Mother with compassion and generosity. But fans of writer-director Pedro Almodvar needn't fret--as always, Almodvar's work undermines conventional notions of sexual identity and embraces all human possibilities with bright colors and melodramatic plotting. However, All About My Mother approaches its twists and turns with a broader emotional scope than most of Almodvar's work; even the more extravagant aspects of the story are presented quietly, to allow the sadness of life to be as present as the irrepressible vitality of the characters. Almodvar embraces pettiness, jealousy, and grief as much as kindness, courage, and outrageousness, and the movie is the richer for it. --Bret Fetzer

All About My Mother

Interesting sub-plots and twists of fate but too much focus on the woes of the transvestite.

All About My Mother

I'm sure I would have enjoyed this movie more had I not brought my son who complained through the entire thing how bad it was. Admittedly, it was neither high action, nor racily funny, but its combination of good acting and bizarre situations certainly kept me involved. I told my son it was just another slice of life. I don't think he believed me.

I was very surprised when Todo sobre mi madre won the European Film Awards '99, not only for best actress, but also best film! I was quite sure either F...... Åmål [Show Me Love], Mifunes sidste sang or Nothing Hill would win! It's said that this film is Pedro Almodovar's best, his true masterpiece! But it doesn'tstop there: The movie is ranked as the 100. best of the IMDb users! And...

All About My Mother

What a delightful movie. Amazing that Almodovar is still able to get mileage from his constant themes of sexual estrangement and confusion, but he does, though this movie is about a lot more than that. It's beautifully shot, too, and the acting is terrific.
