The Vic Theatre: Strange Way of Life / The Human Voice – Shorts by Pedro Almodovar
“Celebrate Pedro Almodóvar, a master storyteller! These emotionally charged short films are a testament to his finesse in bringing human complexities to the screen. Don’t miss the magic!
In Strange Way of Life, after a long twenty-five years, Silva (Pedro Pascal) sets off on a desert adventure to meet his old friend Sheriff Jake (Ethan Hawke). What begins as a happy reunion takes an unexpected turn when Jake reveals a purpose that goes beyond their shared history.
The Human Voice delves into the poignant narrative of a woman (Tilda Swindon) struggling with the passage of time beside the suitcases of her ex-lover. With her ex-lover yet to arrive for his belongings, a restless dog adds to the emotional backdrop. Almodóvar brings to life the complex emotions of abandonment faced by both humans and animals.
