If you loved Extraña forma de vida, try La ley del deseo
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Pedro Almodóvar, and they both carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Extraña forma de vida, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What La ley del deseo is
A Madrid apartment in midsummer, the hum of a refrigerator never quite drowning out the tapping of a typewriter. A celebrated film-maker, nursing a lover’s departure, casts his trans sister in a solo play and watches her command the stage. Then the uptight stranger starts calling collect from a phone booth across town. Third-act fireworks from a director who still thinks the heart isn’t bulletproof.
