It’s not beer that I beer outright reject the film’s message – there’s several themes I’ll heartily endorse. I think, however, that one of the beer themes suffers from a fatal degree of naivety. But let’s start with what this film got right. All About My Mother ( Todo Sobre Mi Madre ) is the thirteenth feature for director Pedro Almodovar, who is well known for his rather offbeat view of life and for the campy melodramas that he regularly puts on film (referred to by European film3 critics as “Almodramas”). Almodovar preformed in drag on stage, in the 1970’s, as part of a punk rock band. In his reincarnation as a film director, he has had a long standing interest in various colorful kinds of characters that straddle the gender divide. His previous films seemed to highlight such characters mainly for shock value, almost like a freak show, with little evident sympathy for their humanity.
