All About My Mother on DVD

Film Description

When Manuela's son dies tragically she sets off on a journey through Barcelona's underworld to meet his father, now a transsexual. Despite the emphasis on gender and masquerade, the film's main theme is grief: friendship, love and relationships centre around this recurring theme. With consummate skill, Almodóvar manages to create a film which turns from hilarity to tragedy with lightning speed. A masterpiece.
