All About My Mother (Classic Tuesdays)

Almodóvar’s brilliant tribute to All About Eve, A Streetcar Named Desire and powerful women everywhere.

Don’t miss it!

“This film has always stood out to me within the Almodóvar canon as his first earnestly dramatic film, especially as pathos is not a sentiment often associated with Almodóvar’s work.”

“In many ways, the whole film is about life imitating art, or at the very least, about the blurry lines between life and art. Manuela says as much toward the end of the movie, noting that all the important moments of her life have revolved around “A Streetcar Named Desire”
