PEDRO PASL AND ETHAN HAWKE’S GAY COWBOYS TAKE CANNIN PEDRO ALMODóVAR’S SHORT FILM STRANGE WAY OF LIFE, THE PAIR LEAVE WANTG MORE.BY RICHARD LAWSONMAY 17, 2023COURTY OF CANN FILM FTIVALSAVE THIS STORYSAVESAVE THIS STORYSAVETHE PROMISE OF A GAY WTERN STARRG PEDRO PASL AND ETHAN HAWKE AND DIRECTED BY PEDRO ALMODóVAR PROVED TO BE TNIP TO CANN DIENC WHEN THE SHORT FILM STRANGE WAY OF LIFE PREMIERED AT THE FTIVAL WEDNDAY. NOT EVEN A STEADY RA KEPT THE CROWDS AWAY—SPE HAVG TO WA LE, GETTG DRENCHED, FOR CLOSE TO AN HOUR. WHEN ALMODóVAR TOOK THE STAGE TO TRODUCE THE FILM—ONE OF HIS FEW FORAYS TO ENGLISH-LANGUAGE CEMA—HE WAS JOED BY HAWKE AND A QUARTET OF HUNKY ACTORS (AMONG THEM MANU RS, OM THE H SPANISH TEEN SOAP ELE). IT ALL SEEMED TO SET THE STAGE FOR SOMETHG VIVID AND SENSUAL THE STYLE OF SO MANY OTHER ALMODóVAR FILMS. AND WAS BORNE OUT, ALBE LIMED WAYS, THE ACTUAL FILM. HAWKE PLAYS A SMALL-TOWN SHERIFF, JAKE, WHO IS VTIGATG THE MURR OF HIS SISTER--LAW AT THE HANDS OF HER LOVER. PASL IS SILVA, AN OLD IEND OF JAKE’S WHO RIS TO TOWN FOR SHADOWY PURPOS. AT LEAST PART OF HIS TENTN IS ROMANTIC: JAKE AND SILVA HAD A TWO-MONTH FLG MEXI SOME 25 YEARS PREV, A BRIEF AND WONRFUL GIVG- TO FORBIDN SIRE THAT SEEMS TO HAVE HNTED THE TWO MEN EVER SCE. SILVAN WANTS TO PICK UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF, WHILE JAKE HALFHEARTEDLY RISTS. IN THAT SENSE, STRANGE WAY OF LIFE IS A MELODRAMA, WH LOTS OF HEAVY TALK ABOUT THE SWEET, EROTIC GLEAM OF THE PAST AND ALL THE BTER PROMIS OF THE PRENT. HAWKE AND PASL FD THE RIGHT TONE TO HANDLE ALL THIS FLORID EMOTG, WH ALMODóVAR MOSTLY GETTG OUT THEIR WAY. THOUGH HE DO LET ALBERTO IGLIAS’S SWELLG SRE SH AT THE LOVELORN PAIR, A DASH OF OLD HOLLYWOOD FLARE AT ONCE MOURNFUL AND SWOONG. THERE IS EVENTUALLY A SHOOTOUT, OF SORTS, BUT ’S NOT PLAYED FOR FUN. AND ’S ULTIMATELY SERVICE OF A POIGNANT NCLN. STRANGE WAY OF LIFE CUTS THROUGH S GRIZZLE TO ARRIVE AT SOMETHG SOFT AND SENTIMENTAL, A VISN OF HOW JAKE AND SILVA ULD HAVE BEEN HAD THEY ALLOWED PASSN TO W OUT OVER NVENTN AND THE HARSH STRICTUR OF LIFE THE OLD WORLD. THERE IS A SMALL B OF SEXY STUFF TOO, PARTICULARLY A DREAMY AND WE-SOAKED FLASHBACK TO WHAT WAS PERHAPS THE BEGNG OF JAKE AND SILVA’S FIRST RNAL RELEASE. IT’S BRIEF, JT LIKE THE SEXUAL EPIPHANY FLASHBACK ALMODóVAR’S PA AND GLORY. ALSO HELPG RAISE THE VAPORS LEVEL ARE THOSE HANDSOME SPANISH FELLOWS, WHO ARE BARELY THE FILM BUT ADD TO THE FILM’S HEADY, HOT-AND-BOTHERED AIR NOHELS.IT’S A KICK TO SEE ALMODóVAR’S GAY GAZE APPLIED TO A WTERN, THOUGH AT ONLY 31 MUT, THE FILM LEAV WANTG QUE A LOT MORE. ONE HOP THAT THIS MIGHT BE A MERE MO REEL FOR A FULL FEATURE FILM; ALMODóVAR HAS SAID HE IS GAG NFINCE DIRECTG ENGLISH, SO PERHAPS HE MIGHT FEEL READY TO PURSUE A MORE SUBSTANTIAL STORY WH PASL AND HAWK. THERE’S MORE TO BE EXPLORED HERE, MORE NVENTNS OF THE WTERN TO BE TURNED ON THEIR HEADS—OR, RATHER, EXPAND TO CLU NEW NARRATIV.

'STRANGE WAY OF LIFE' TRAILER: PEDRO PASL AND ETHAN HAWKE GET TIMATE ALMODóVAR'S GAY WBOY DRAMA

The words “gay” and “wboy” go together like peanut butter and jelly. Jt about everythg about the wboy way of life screams gay: leather, assls chaps, wboy hats, nim jackets, tight jeans, and spendg a lot of time buildg up a sweat wh other guys. Next time someone says wboys aren’t gay, simply pot them to the five movi.

Speakg of Brokeback Mounta, this is the blueprt for the morn gay wboy film. Brokeback Mounta was a heartbreakg movie, but also was one of the first gay films to be regnized as a te masterpiece.

It’s not exactly the same type of prtige drama as the other films on this list, but Dashg December has s own special place our gay wboy hearts. In the early ‘90s, he sought the rights to adapt Tom Spanber’s “The Man Who Fell Love Wh the Moon, ” but says a Wtern wh gay wboys and Native Amerins was a tough sell. ”The 1949 Jam Cagney gangster film “Whe Heat, " for stance, Almodóvar says, would be jt the same if Edmund O'Brien's unrver mate was gay.
