All About My Mother is a superb film from Spain’s Pedro Almodovar. It unites a sober look at women in contemporary society with good, campy fun. In All About My Mother, women are either born or made; as the delightful transsexual Agrado (Antonia San Juan) announces, “authenticity is when you most resemble the person you dreamed you’d be.” One is reminded of American conservatism when Almodovar presents polymorphous modern sexuality as assimilated fact (rather than cheeky pigeonholing or shock tactic). This enables the HIV-positive pregnant nun (Penelope Cruz), the transsexual hooker, and the lesbian actress/addict to be multidimensional characters far removed from any stereotypical template.
