Moscow Film Society: All About My Mother

Tuesday, November 26 at 7 PM

“Funny, provocative and deeply sympathetic in its wide embrace of women and those who would be women, All About My Mother is a beacon of a film.”
— Susan Stark

Moscow Film Society presents ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER as part of their Queer Behind the Camera series, co-programmed by Kari Lovin! This Oscar-winning melodrama provides a dizzying, 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 reawakens into a new maternal role, at the head of a surrogate family that includes a pregnant, HIV-positive nun; an illustrious star of the stage; and a transgender sex worker. Beautifully performed and bursting with cinematic references, All About My Mother is a vibrant tribute to female fortitude, a one-of-a-kind family portrait, and a work of boundless compassion.

Rated: R | 1 hr 41 min | Tickets: $8 Adult / Film Pass
