“Spain and the Oscars” Screening of ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER
This fall, as the Meadows Museum celebrates American enthusiasm for Spain in the exhibition Spanish Light: Sorolla in American Collections, DIFF is proud to collaborate on a selection of Spanish films that were considered for an Academy Award.
Please join us on Thursday, December 14, for the final program of “Spain and the Oscars” featuring a screening of “All About My Mother”.
One of Pedro Almodóvar’s most beloved films, “All About My Mother” is a moving exploration of the meaning of motherhood. In an instant, nurse Manuela loses the teenage son she raised on her own. Grief-stricken, she sets out to search for the boy’s long-lost father in Barcelona, where she takes on a new maternal role as the head of a surrogate family of people on the fringes of society. “All About My Mother” is a tribute to female fortitude, a one-of-a-kind family portrait, and a work of boundless compassion. The film was Spain’s official entry for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar for 1999, which it won.
