Pedro Almodóvar knows that even just the sight of Pedro Pascal’s butt is “very erotic”
The acclaimed filmmaker says his gay Western with Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke will be erotic but not explicit.
I wanted to see if I could do a different kind of sexy. For example, [there’s a] moment where Ethan [Hawke] is doing his bowtie, and he’s staring at Pedro [Pascal]’s butt with the bed right in the background… that was very erotic!
I’ve shot many sex scenes in my career, mainly in the ’80s. I was much younger then. It was the beginning of my career and I needed to do that—we were talking about desire, about carnal knowledge. It was necessary.
[Now] I am much more interested in the nakedness of gazes and words—especially words that have never been heard in a Western before.Queer Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar speaking to Independent about making his new gay Western short film A Strange Way Of Life erotic while not sexually explicit.
A Strange Way Of Life hits select theaters on October 4, and then expands wider on October 6.
