Anton Banras has opened up about the time a drag queen saved his life and about playg a gay character his new film, Pa and Glory. * pain and glory gay *

Most noticeably, many of his films take place a gay landspe where voice is given to the margalized of society the shape of queer characters wh queer sir. In Pa and Glory, we fd Salvador Mallo, a gay director reluctantly firm and sudnly immersed his past, played wh balletic middle-aged rtrat by Anton Banras. As a gay director who has always been preoccupied wh queer sexualy, Almodóvar necsarily subverts the typil trop of tofictn wh his lh eroticizatn of men.

"To be a transvte, gay, heterosexual, transsexual, or bisexual has never been a dramatic problem my films.

"Almodóvar's first feature film, 1980's Pepi, Luci, Bom, followed the tular Bom, a lbian punk-rock sger, while his send film (and his first of many llaboratns wh Banras), 1982's Labyrth of Passn, clud a gay Middle Eastern prce. Pedro Almodóvar helped turn Anton Banras to a star, so seems ftg that Banras has now e full circle to portray the gay Spanish tr—or at least a versn of him—for the semi-tobgraphil Pa and the film, Spa’s official Osrs entry for Bt Internatnal Feature, director Salvador Mallo (Banras) is no longer livg his bt life. The pair met when Banras was 19, and his send film cred was Almodóvar’s 1982 feature, Labyrth of Passn, which he played Sac, a gay Islamic terrorist.
