The film is casually being directed by perhaps one of the most iconic queer film directors of all time, Pedro Almodóvar, who clearly got a hold of my private fanfiction.
The gay Spanish director already has two Oscars under his belt and famously turned down directing the eventual Oscar-winning film,
Brokeback Mountain,
cos Hollywood wouldn’t let him show the characters “

“.
Oh, the things we’ve been robbed of.
Almodóvar says that Strange Way of Life is his “answer” to
Brokeback Mountain
, as well as the queer Western genre as a whole.
In a March appearance on Dua Lipa‘s
At Your Service
podcast, Almodóvar hinted at what audiences can expect in the short film. “This is a queer Western in the sense that there are two men, and they love each other, and they behave in that situation in an opposite way,” he said.

Jokes aside, the short film is set to be a really big deal in the cinema world, with

“It could have been anything that he asked me to do, and I would have done it without question.”
It sounds lovely and touching and beautiful and if his past comments about are anything to go by, I’m expecting
Finally, we have our first glimpse at the two daddies brooding menacingly on a ranch in the trailer for the film. There’s also a scene where two younger guys are making out while wine pours all over them and it’s… hot. Be still my beating horse.
Pascal has spoken about the film to several outlets, and honestly, it’s kinda giving me life.
In particular, there was an interview
While Pascal has recently become the internet’s daddy thanks in part to his role on HBO’s , he’s also no stranger to playing queer characters on screen, becoming a household name after playing the extremely horny, extremely hot, sexually-fluid Oberyn Martell in (a moment of silence).

will hopefully change this, largely in part because of
“He absolutely opened up an entire world of storytelling, colour, culture, rebellion, and sexuality that was just absolutely intoxicating, dangerous, hilarious, heartbreaking, and encompassing the whole spectrum, but with such a signature style,” he told .
Yes, Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke are going to be hot cowboys making out with each other on-screen and being hot and sexy and cute. But will also see a breakthrough in queer storytelling, championed by the king of LGBTQIA+ filmmaking.
