‘Strange Way of Life’ Review: Pedro Almodóvar’s Fashion Short Reduces Its Gay Cowboys to a Couple of Clothes Horses
Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Every time two cowboys point their guns at one another on screen, there’s something homoerotic at play. Hollywood Westerns may be loath to admit as much, but not so Pedro Almodóvar, who casts Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal as lonesome cowboys reunited after 25 years in “Strange Way of Life.” Commissioned by Saint Laurent Productions (which is also premiering a Jean-Luc Godard short at Cannes), this half-baked half-hour serves as a sexy showcase for creative director Anthony Vaccarello’s latest designs, while barely delivering on the promise that an Almodóvar-made “gay cowboy” movie conjures in the imagination. At the Cannes premiere, the Spanish director described “Strange” as his response to a question posed by “Brokeback Mountain”: What can two men do on a ranch? Silva (Pascal) gives Jake (Hawke) his answer in the final seconds of the short, and it’s sweet, though it turns out Almodóvar is misremembering Ang Lee’s 2005 Western. The scene he’s thinking of is probably the one where Heath Ledger’s character tells Jake Gyllenhaal how his father made a point of showing him an old rancher’s corpse, gay-bashed with a tire iron and then “drug … around by his dick.” With an image like that in their minds, no wonder the couple decide to keep their forbidden love on the down low.

Watch the Trailer for Pedro Pascal’s Gay Western Movie
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.
