All About My Mother (1999)

All About My Mother is a 1999 Spanish drama film directed by Pedro Almodovar. It won 1 Academy Award as well as another 47 wins and 31 nominations. I found the untraditional characters and their escapades in the story to be the most interesting part of the movie. Even though it is interesting it still can be viewed as raunchy and disturbing with all of the transvestite talk in it. I was wrong to see a nun use such foul language also. It falls well within the genre of a drama and I enjoyed the Spanish culture depicted in the film. The scenery and dialogue stayed true to the Spanish roots. The acting was exceptional; I especially enjoyed the part of Rosa, played by Penelope Cruz. It was culturally significant in the fact that it made Almodovar a well-known director. It is aimed at an older demographic due to the obvious sexual tones.
