    Once again, I’m watching a queer film everyday for Pride Month. the criteria being the film should be queer in subject matter and/or made by queer filmmakers and/or starring queer actors. 
happy Pride! 🌈 6/1: All About My Mother (Almodóvar, 1999)

    Shameful that Mexican actress Silvia Pinal and Spanish actress Marisa Paredes were not included in the #Oscars  in memoriam. Two pillars of cinema in their respective countries and beyond. Pinal worked with Luis Buñuel and Paredes was in the Oscar winning ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER.

    RIP Marisa Paredes I taught All About My Mother for many years & my students loved her in it. Almodovar gave her so many great roles as he knew how she would always give a vivacious & emotionally affecting performance. I love this pic of her in High Heels.

    I was 12 the first time I truly identified with a movie character. It was Agrado in Almodóvar's All About My Mother. She is warm and kind, depicted in a beautiful way, yet she's a sex worker surrounded by violence, drugs, and AIDS. Trans kids need normal, relatable trans characters.
