All About My Mother (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last month Spain won the World Cup. As a late celebration of their victory, we're back with a Spanish film. The film is Pedro Almodovar's All About My Mother from 1999. The film follows Manuela, a single mother whose life is upended when her teenage son dies in a car accident. Filled with references to Hollywood classics, the film tackles motherhood, gender identity, transsexualism, and much more with immense empathy.
