Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal Shine in Cannes Film "Strange Way of Life"

Pedro Almodóvar's 30-minute gay Western short film, "Strange Way of Life," premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, starring Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal. Almodóvar described it as "the first really queer Western." The film explores the desire between two cowboys, who reunite after 25 years and share a home-cooked meal followed by an "orgiastic" night. Hawke praised Pascal as "a very attractive, extremely talented man." The Hollywood Reporter praised the film as "compact, heady and beguiling," with a moving affirmation of queer love flourishing in the least likely places.
