There’s a whole lot to like about this film. It’s got a superlative cast playing interesting and varied characters. There’s a splendid balance between melodrama susanna kaysen and humor. susanna kaysen The script is witty and sophisticated, with both irony and allusion susanna kaysen getting heavy workouts. The plot includes several twists and one 180 degree turn. My only reservation about the film pertains to its message. It’s not that I outright reject the film’s message – there’s several themes I’ll heartily endorse. I think, however, that one of the 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.
