“Silva visits him with the excuse of reuniting with his friend from his youth, and they do indeed celebrate their meeting,” the synopsis continues, “but the next morning Sheriff Jake tells him that the reason for his trip is not to go down the memory lane of their old friendship….”
“I must say no more so as not to give away all the surprises of the script,” the director said during a presentation at Cannes, as reported by Deadline. “The strange way of life referred in the title alludes to the famous fado by Amalia Rodrigues, whose lyrics suggest that there is no stranger existence than the one that is lived by turning your back on your own desires.”

Strange Way of Life has finally been released.A quick glance shows that it promises to be the romantic and nostalgic affair many hoped it would be, but it also looks like it will be full of film noir-style violence and intrigue.Starring Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke, the 30-minute film follows the story of Silva, a cowboy traveling on horseback across the desert to reunite with his old friend, Sheriff Jake, after 25 years apart.Once reunited, though, Silva learns that his journey was not just for simple reminiscing between pals.The trailer follows the release of the film’s poster, which showcased Pascal and Hawke in a highly-saturated, colorful Western backdrop, hinting the film may feature a whimsical and playful atmosphere.Though nobody has seen it yet, Strange Way of Life has already been compared to the LGBTQ 2005 blockbuster Brokeback Mountain, a movie that Almodóvar was originally approached to direct but ultimately turned down.In an interview with IndieWire, the director explained that he did not believe he would have complete freedom and independence to make the film he wanted.“I think Ang Lee made a wonderful movie, but I never believed that they would give me complete freedom and independence to make what I wanted,” Almodóvar said. “Nobody told me that — they said, ‘You can do whatever you want,’ but I knew that there was a limitation.”Strange Way of Life is slated to make its world premiere at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in mid-May.

Pedro Almódovar is one of the greatest living filmmakers, and there aren’t many people out there who would disagree.

Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke star in the debut trailer for director Pedro Almodóvar’s queer Western Strange Way of Life.
Sophia Scorziello editor Pedro Almodóvar’s queer Western short film “Strange Way of Life” has released its first trailer. The short, which stars Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke, is somewhat akin to a “Brokeback Mountain” revamp, or moreso, a chance for Almodóvar to do finally do it his way. Almost two decades ago, the Spanish filmmaker was offered the opportunity to direct the Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger film, but gave up the offer in fear he wouldn’t have the creative freedom to make the movie how he wanted it. “This is a queer western in the sense that there are two men, and they love each other, and they behave in that situation in an opposite way,” said Almodóvar on an episode of “Dua Lipa: At Your Service.” “What I can tell you about the film is that it has a lot of the elements of the Western. It has the gunslinger. It has the ranch. It has the sheriff. But what it has that most Westerns don’t have is the kind of dialogue that I don’t think a Western film has ever captured between two men. And now I think I’m telling you too much.”
