This film was last shown on 7 February 2016

Manuela and Estaban’s mother/son relationship is one to envy until tragedy tears them apart. Brilliant, intense, glowing and striking, All About My Mother won Almodóvar best director at Cannes and the Oscar for best foreign language film. A distinctive tapestry that nods to Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote and Federico García Lorca as well as classics like All About Eve, this film is magnificent, moving and screening here from a rare 35mm print.  Identity, faith and existentialism, beauty, love and truth -  ‘You will leave the cinema irradiated with bliss.’ Peter Bradshaw
