These two cowboys share a history as hired guns, and as they come together after 25 long years, sparks of romance are rekindled beneath the dusty frontier.

Cowboys have long been depicted as tough, horse-riding gunslingers in Hollywood’s Western classics. Think Clint Eastwood as “The Man with No Name” in “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” or Paul Newman and Robert Redford as the iconic outlaws in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” However, LGBTQ+ themes have seldom been explored in past Western films, leaving room for innovation and representation in this genre.
With “Strange Way of Life,” Pedro Almodóvar brings a sizzling twist to the hypermasculine cowboy archetype while staying true to the rugged roots of the Western tradition. As Pascal and Hawke grace the screen with their palpable chemistry, audiences are in for a captivating journey filled with romance, adventure, and hidden agendas.
