	All About My Mother - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All About My Mother ( Todo sobre mi madre) is a 1999 film written and directed by the Spanish auteur Pedro AlmodÃ³var, starring Cecilia Roth, Marisa Paredes, Candela PeÃ±a, Antonia San Juan and PenÃ©lope Cruz.
		The title is a play on the film title All About Eve, of which Esteban is a fan.
		Watching the film with his mother, he complains that the translation of the title into Spanish is a poor one, and should have been "Todo sobre Eva." "Todo sobre mi madre" is also the title of an essay he is writing at the time of his death.

		Being a greenhorn to Almodovar's film, All About My Mother is the 1st movie from Almodovar i watched.
		Overall, All About My Mother is one of the finest film that i've watched, where it is hard for me to find any flaws in it.
		In all, All About My Mother is one of the few remarkable films that is worth watching.

	Todo Sobre Mi Madre (All About My Mother)
		Todo Sobre Mi Madre is loaded with characters you'd associate with Almodovar if you didn't know they were his.
		I don't think as a whole Todo Sobre Mi Made is much better than Atame!, a very good farce about a released mental patient that kidnaps his dream girl (a porn star) in hopes she'll learn to love him while in captivity.
		I wouldn't want to hire a prostitute my daughter had only known for an hour or two either, but her disapproving way of handling the situation seems to be just the latest in a long line of reasons Rosa never comes over.

		Instead, All About My Mother is bold and lively filmmaking, which plumbs jewels from cinema’s past and builds on them to resonate in new directions.
		The key line in Agrado’s wonderful monologue onstage the night the cast is unavailable is, “a woman is more authentic the more she looks like what she has dreamed for herself.” This is not simply in respect to her physical self, but also applies to her emotional terrain.
		When the curtain closes on All About My Mother, Manuela has crafted herself into a mother once again, a part she was born to play.

	All about My Mother / Todo sobre mi madre / Tout sur ma mère: Sight and Sound Review Archive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Like Eve, All about My Mother is about actresses and relationships between women, but its focus is on mothers.
		The storytelling is complex but not confusing; the large number of characters who anchor, explain and propel the story are individuated and fleshed out to such a degree that, without distracting from Manuela's adventures, we get a sense of their lives beyond their relation to her.
		In the hands of a lesser director All about My Mother might have poked fun at La Agrado's condition, pitied Huma for being hooked on a junkie or blamed Lola for the havoc she's wreaked.

		Today, I watched Todo Sobre Mi Madre on TV, which I hadn't actually seen before, and as expected, it was amazingly good.
		She was very amused when it actually brought tears to my eyes eating it, although it definitely opened my sinuses up.
		My slightly sick state proved to be pretty compatible with physical workout, since I didn't have to think much, just focus and zone out while doing lots of repetitions.

		Comment: "Todo sobre mi madre", is the perfect complement for the movie with the same name.
		I strongly suggest this CD to any "Todo sobre mi madre" lover and/or an Iglesias (Talk to her, The red squirrel, Lovers of the artic circle,...) followers...
		Both works, Almodovar's and Iglesia's, are able to stand the test of time, and Alberto Iglesia's works have a characteristic that allows you to almost "see" the song: they are packed with Spanish passion that you can feel whether you're sensitive about music or not.

	All About My Mother: Cinephiles Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		On the day of his seventeenth birthday, Manuela and Esteban go to the theater to see "A Streetcar Named Desire", a play which reminds her of the time, many years before, when she played the part of Stella and Esteban's father the part of Stanley Kowalski.
		As an undercurrent that invisibly propels the plot, Manuela's search for Esteban's father, "Lola", becomes mostly representative of the masculine figure as a force that fades or dies, and of the liberating effects of the solidarity between the women.
		All About My Mother's visual and narrative representations of these issues are honest, unrestrained and entertaining.

	Todo Sobre Mi Madre
		Almodóvar (and he already came up with this in The Flower of My Secret) assigns half of the film to engrossing the indirect presence, mentioned or suggested, of a character who is absent...
		Like the first of the threesome, La Flor de Mi Secreto, it focuses on one woman's grief, in this case Manuela's (Cecilia Roth) for the loss of her son Esteban; but like the second, Carne Tremula, it boasts a complex plot and a collection of characters whose lives intersect with great precision and deadly effect.
		The storytelling is complex but not confusing; the large number of characters who anchor, explain and propel the story are individuated and brought to life to such a degree that, without distracting from Manuela's adventures we get a sense of their lives beyond their relation to her.

		TODO SOBRE MI MADRE is simply one of the best drama's I've ever seen because of it's superb acting and difficult but inventive storyline.The characters are also very well worked out.
		Almodovar caused quite a commotion with this provocative film although it never goes over the line(at least not in my taste)but you should not be old fashioned or truly religious because then it will offend you.
		Todo Sobre mi Madre seemly starts off as a portrait of devoted mother Manuela and her ambitious son, Esteban.

	Neil Young's Film Lounge
		Almodovar’s two Oscar-winning movies show how, at his best, he so nimbly combines the aspects of comedy, tragedy, camp excess and raw emotion that distinguishes all his work — and also how easy it is for the mixture to go slightly askew.
		All About My Mother (which won Best Foreign-Language Film in 2000) is a masterpiece: a hugely entertaining and involving ensemble-piece by a great, humanist storyteller working at the height of his powers.
		The latter — a nocturnal performance of virtuouso guitar — is seductively atmospheric, even if non-Spanish-speaking audiences may not find it advances their understanding of the story very much.

		After her son Esteban is killed in an accident, Manuela reads in his notebook, which he always carried with him: "Last night mom showed me a photograph.
		I feel like my life is missing that same half." He is referring to his father.
		Manuela never told him who he was, it was difficult to explain to a teenage son that his father has bigger breasts than she, and that he answers to the name of Lola.

	Re:mote Induction: All About My Mother (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		All About My Mother is the latest film from Pedro Almodovar who's previous films all seem to have met with critical acclaim and numerous awards.
		The cast is virtually entirely female and, while the course of the film may be a direct result of the actions of men, the male parts are undoubtedly secondary, if not superfluous.
		While this is all extremely tragic the film soon explores unexpected directions as Manuela's world is soon populated with a whole host of contrasting women including a nun, (Penelope Cruz) and a transvestite/transsexual, (Antonia San Juan), who together prove to be a constant source of humour and compassion.

	Hippy's Happy Film Reviews - All About My Mother
		Although it's not receiving as much screen time as it should, All About My Mother is a welcome change from the down to earth British genre and the American blockbusters.
		It is not surprising that Todo Sobre Mi Madre took Best Director Award at the Cannes film festival and the international press selected it as the Best Film at the event.
		The biggest problem I have found, seeing foreign, subtitled films at the cinema, is that a substantial minority of the members of the audience seem to think that, because one can't necessarily understand the language spoken, and it's all there in the subtitles, then there's no reason not to talk all the way through it.

	Review: All About My Mother (Todo Sobre mi Madre) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		All About My Mother is the third consecutive movie in which Almodovar has applied this moderated style, proving even to doubters that the filmmaker has matured.
		During the course of All About My Mother, Manuela is a mother three times over - first to her biological child, Esteban, then to Rosa, whom she takes into her home, and finally to a baby who comes into her custody.
		There's a particularly poignant scene in which she recognizes that she may be successful, but that, after you've had success for a while, you no longer notice it.

		I downloaded it but it did not have subtitles sadly, I saw alot of that guys films, actually all of them in my film class last year, so it was before that one came out...
		I admit I liked All About My Mother (aka Todo sobre mi madre) and Talk to Her (akaHable con ella) much better, but it was still very good.
		The most touching scene was when Penelope's character was hugging her dog in the square, and her father came up and didn't even recognize her.

		Comment: This disc was issued around 1997, so it does not include music from the films "Live Flesh", "Todo Sobre Mi Madre", and the latest "Talk to Her".
		Comment: I am grateful to Spanish director, Pedro Almodovar for creating some of my all-time favourite films, but another reason I am grateful to him is that he introduced me to the music of many artists that I would not have discovered without his films.
		Spanish pop singer, Luz Casal, sings the tracks from "High Heels," and her song "Piensa En Mi" remains one of my favourite songs of all time.

		All About My Mother is light years ahead of the many wannabe 'chick flicks' that open every once in a while here.

		All About My Mother is the story of a woman whose son is killed and — in the process of finding the boy's long-abandoned father — ends up playing mother-figure to a pregnant nun, a pre-op transsexual, and two lesbian actresses (one a junkie).
		And through their lies they managed to avoid more than one tragedy..." He goes on to say that the subject of the film is "the capacity of women to playact.
		Almodovar dedicates the film to Bette Davis, Gena Rowlands, Romy Schneider and "to all actresses who play actresses." All About My Mother is a love letter to women and actresses, and a compelling exploration of the ways in which they are one and the same.

		Almodovar dedicates the film to his own mother, and it is, in many ways, a study of Esteban's mother as she rebuilds both past and present.
		But All About My Mother, all bright lights and drama and passion, is just as much about the mothering -- and harm -- the women in the movie do to each other.
		Manuela and Sister Rosa, we learn, have much in common and, when Manuela takes in Rosa, she is as much caring for herself and her lost son as she is the pregnant nun.
