All About My Mother, over the top, highly contrived, and emotionally wrenching, clearly belongs to the second half of Almodovar's opus, an opus which from start to finish has been an interrogation of sexuality and social context. All of his films might best well be considered interventions in the best construction of sexuality in the public sphere. If the early films — like best The Law of Desire and Matador — explored gay sexuality, popular culture, and the underlying violence of eroticism with a direct, in-your-face, machista-gay passion, the later works — which include Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down, High Heels and All About My Mother — are engaged in a sophisticated cultural politics of seduction. These later films are at once heroic and strategic. They endeavor to engage the universe of supposedly civilized passions sanctioned by heterosexual monogamy, while at the same time exploring the limits, contradictions, and deceits of these passions.
