“It’s about masculinity in a deep sense, because the western is a masculine genre. What I can tell you about the film is that it has many of the elements of the western: the gunslinger, the ranch, the sheriff,” he said. However, the director of “La cage de las locas” and “The Skin I Live In,” stated: “But what you have, what most westerns don’t have it, it’s the kind of dialogue I don’t think a western movie has ever captured between two men. And now I think I’m telling you a little too much.”
Shot in English, “Strange Way of Life” It begins with a man, Silva, riding a horse through a desert to Bitter Creek, where he went to visit Sheriff Jake. Twenty-five years earlier, the two men had worked together as gun-for-hire.. Silva arrives under the pretext of reuniting with his friend from his youthbut the next morning Sheriff Jake tells him that the real reason for his visit is not the memories of his old friendship.
Almodóvar previously explained that the title of the film echoes the name of a famous fado written and sung by Amalia Rodrigues. Its lyrics affirm that there is no existence more strange than the one that ignores one’s own desires, which raises the question of how far the film could convert desire.
