Dua Lipa had advanced it in January in her podcast, it was now necessary to confirm it the Cannes Film Festival. The short film 'Strange way of life', starring Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke will occupy a place of honor in the official programming of the French festival. The film, which is the director's second experience in English after 'The Human Voice' (2020), features music by Alberto Iglesias and photography by José Luis Alcaine.
The filmmaker revealed in a statement that the title of the film alludes to "the famous fado of Amalia Rodrigues, whose lyrics suggest that there is no stranger existence than the one that is lived turning one's back on one's desires." Some time ago, Almodóvar himself made it clear that it is a 'queer western' for the simple reason that it tells the story of two men – hired gunmen for more signs – who meet again after 25 years to realize something as elementary as their love. As is.
The cast is made up of Pedro Casablanc, Manu Ríos, George Steane, José Condessa, Jason Fernández, Sara Sálamo, Ohiana Cueto and Daniela Medina.
This new announcement adds to the previous confirmation of Maïwenn's historical drama, "Jeanne du Barry", starring Johnny Depp as Louis XV, which will have its world premiere on the opening night of the 76th edition of the festival. Along with these two films, the festival will feature Martin Scorsese, who presents 'Killers of the Flower Moon' (also a 'western and also the first in his career) and Harrison Ford in his farewell to the character who has defined his career at the hand of 'Indiana Jones ant the Dial of Destiny'. On Thursday 13 the rest of the program will be announced where, perhaps, the names of Víctor Erice, Pablo Berger, Fernando Trueba or the debut of Víctor Iriarte appear.
