Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal inject homoerotic tension into their classically male personae in this provocative mini-Western by filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar.
Soaked in red wine, two cowboys roll around kissing with a voracious desperation for each other’s bodies. A bacchanal of tender manliness, this flashback in Pedro Almodóvar’s brisk English-language short film “Strange Way of Life” delivers the essence of the central love affair: a tempestuous but undeniably blazing bond.
Hawke’s face, charged with the heavy burden of regret and repressed desire, only occasionally softens in the presence of Pascal’s Silva, a more conciliatory force who willingly stares straight into the barrel of a pistol in order to finally get a raw reaction from the man he still adores. Hostile in nature, the unresolved divide between them crackles with passion, a testament to the performers’ dexterity to tap into a melodramatic tone.
