All About My Mother, Spain, 1999, 101 min. Starring Celia Roth, Marisa Paredes, Penelope Cruz. Directed by Pedro Almodóvar. Following the tragic death of her young son, a woman sets out to carry out his final wish to know his father. In looking for the man she encounters many unusual characters, which one would logically expect from an Almodóvar film, similarly the outrageousness and the humor tempered with emotion. What comes as a surprise is the degree of naked honesty that the director brings to this work. In his ultimate tribute to the concept of motherhood, Almodóvar has also managed to arrive at a place that his work had always strived to reach.
