'''''All About My Mother''''' ({{langx|es|link=no|Todo sobre mi madre}}) is a 1999 [[comedy-drama]] film written and directed by [[Pedro Almodóvar]], and starring [[Cecilia Roth]], [[Marisa Paredes]], [[Candela Peña]], [[Antonia San Juan]], [[Penélope Cruz]], [[Rosa Maria Sardà]], and [[Fernando Fernán Gómez]].

The plot originates in Almodóvar's earlier film ''[[The Flower of My Secret]]'' (1995), which shows student doctors being trained in how to persuade grieving relatives to allow organs to be used for [[Organ transplantation|transplant]], focusing on the mother of a teenager killed in a road accident. ''All About My Mother'' deals with issues such as [[AIDS]], [[gender identity]], [[homosexuality]], [[faith]], and [[existentialism]].

The film was a commercial and critical success internationally, winning the [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] for [[Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film|Best Foreign Language Film]] in addition to the [[Golden Globe Award|Golden Globe]] for [[Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film|Best Foreign Language Film]] and the [[British Academy Film Awards|BAFTA Awards]] for [[BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language|Best Film Not in the English Language]] and [[BAFTA Award for Best Direction|Best Direction]] (Almodóvar). The film also won six [[Goya Awards]] including [[Goya Award for Best Film|Best Film]], [[Goya Award for Best Director|Best Director]] (Almodóvar), [[Goya Award for Best Actress|Best Actress]] (Roth).

==Plot==
Manuela is an [[Argentines|Argentine]] nurse who supervises donor [[Organ transplantation|organ transplants]] at Ramón y Cajal Hospital in [[Madrid]]. She is also a single mother to Esteban, a teenager who aspires to become a writer.

On Esteban's 17th birthday, he is hit and killed by a car while chasing after his favorite actress Huma Rojo for her autograph following a performance of ''[[A Streetcar Named Desire]]'', where Huma portrays [[Blanche DuBois]]. Manuela allows her son's heart to be transplanted to a man in [[A Coruña]]. After tracking down the recipient, she resigns from her job and travels to [[Barcelona]] in search of Esteban's other mother, Lola, a [[Trans woman|transgender woman]] whom Manuela had kept secret from her son, just as she had never told Lola about the boy.

In Barcelona, Manuela reunites with her old friend Agrado, a warm and witty transgender [[sex worker]]. She also befriends Huma as well as her co-star and lover Nina Cruz, who is a heroin addict; and young [[HIV|HIV positive]] nun Rosa, who works in a shelter for battered sex workers and is pregnant with Lola's child. Manuela's life becomes entwined with theirs as she cares for Rosa during her pregnancy, works as Huma's personal assistant, or takes the stage as an [[understudy]] for Nina during one of her drug abuse crises.

On her way to the hospital, Rosa asks the taxi to stop at a park where she spots her father's dog, Sapic, and then her own father, who suffers from [[Alzheimer's disease|Alzheimer's]]. He does not recognize Rosa and asks for her age and height, but Sapic recognizes her. Rosa dies giving birth to a healthy boy; at her funeral, Manuela finally reunites with Lola. Lola (formerly known as Esteban) is dying from [[HIV/AIDS|AIDS]] and talks about how she always wanted a son. Manuela tells her about their own son Esteban and his fatal accident. Manuela adopts Rosa's son, Esteban, caring for him at Rosa's parents' house. The father does not understand who Manuela is, and Rosa's mother introduces her as the new cook who is living there with her son.

Manuela introduces Esteban, Rosa's son, to Lola and gives her a picture of their own Esteban. Rosa's mother spots them from the street and confronts Manuela about letting strangers see the baby. Manuela tells her that Lola is Esteban's other parent, but Rosa's mother is appalled and blames Lola for causing Rosa's death, and fears that she will contract HIV from the baby. Deciding that she cannot live at Rosa's house any longer, Manuela flees back to Madrid with Esteban, and writes a letter to Huma and Agrado, apologizing once again for not saying goodbye like she did years before.

Two years later, Manuela returns to Barcelona with Esteban, who has remained healthy and AIDS-free. At an AIDS convention, she meets up with Huma and Agrado, who now run a stage show together, and tells them that she is returning to stay with Esteban's grandparents. When Manuela asks about Nina, Agrado reveals that Nina broke up with Huma, returned to her town, got married, and now has a son of her own.

==Production==
Almodóvar dedicated his film "To all actresses who have played actresses. To all women who act. To men who act and become women. To all the people who want to be mothers. To my mother".

Almodóvar recreated the accident scene from [[John Cassavetes]]' ''[[Opening Night (1977 film)|Opening Night]]'' (1977) as the epicenter of the dramatic conflict.<ref>{{cite web |last=Bodenheimer |first=Rebecca |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/features/an-ode-to-pedro-almodovars-all-my-mother-on-its-20th-anniversary |title=An Ode to Pedro Almodovar's All About My Mother on Its 20th Anniversary |date=6 March 2020 |access-date=4 August 2021 |work=[[RogerEbert.com]]}}</ref>

The film was mainly shot on location in [[Barcelona]].

The soundtrack includes "Gorrión" and "Coral para mi pequeño y lejano pueblo", written by [[Dino Saluzzi]] and performed by Saluzzi, [[Marc Johnson (musician)|Marc Johnson]], and José Saluzzi, and "Tajabone", written and performed by [[Ismaël Lô]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0185125/soundtrack |title= All About My Mother (1999) Soundtracks |publisher= IMDb |access-date=30 October 2019}}</ref>

The poster of the film was designed by Madrid illustrator Óscar Mariné. This poster was designed to epitomize the very image of beauty, simplicity, and femininity. The poster intentionally emphasizes red, white, and blue with black accent strokes and a pop of yellow.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Bengoa|first=María Tabuenca|date=31 January 2012|title=El 'leit motiv' de la estética de Pedro Almodóvar analizado a través de la cartelística de su obra|url=http://journals.sfu.ca/indexcomunicacion/index.php/indexcomunicacion/article/view/21|journal=Index.comunicación|language=es|volume=1|issue=1|pages=89–144|issn=2174-1859}}</ref>

It eventually grossed €9,962,047 in Spain ($12,595,016), $8,344,738 in the US, and $59,609,091 in foreign markets for a worldwide box office total of $67,957,990.<ref name="BOM"/>

==Reception==
===Critical response===
Janet Maslin of ''[[The New York Times]]'' called it Almodóvar's "best film by far", noting he "presents this womanly [[melodrama]] with an empathy to recall [[George Cukor]]'s and an eye-dampening intensity to out-Sirk [[Douglas Sirk]]". She added, "It's the crossover moment in the career of a born four-hankie storyteller of ever-increasing stature. Look out, Hollywood, here he comes".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/library/film/092499ny-mother-film-review.html |title=New York Times review |work=The New York Times |date=24 September 1999 |access-date=3 February 2012}}</ref>

[[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' observed, "You don't know where to position yourself while you're watching a film like ''All About My Mother'', and that's part of the appeal: Do you take it seriously, like the characters do, or do you notice the bright colors and flashy art decoration, the cheerful homages to [[Tennessee Williams]] and ''[[All About Eve]]'', and see it as a [[parody]]? . . . Almodóvar's earlier films sometimes seemed to be manipulating the characters as an exercise. Here the plot does handstands in its eagerness to use coincidence, surprise, and melodrama. But the characters have a weight and reality, as if Almodóvar has finally taken pity on them – has seen that although their plights may seem ludicrous, they are real enough to hurt".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19991222/REVIEWS/912220301/1023 |title=Chicago Sun-Times review |work=Chicago Sun-Times |access-date=3 February 2012 |date=22 December 1999 |archive-date=26 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120926134131/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F19991222%2FREVIEWS%2F912220301%2F1023 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Bob Graham of the ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]'' said, "No one else makes movies like this Spanish director" and added, "In other hands, these characters might be candidates for confessions – and brawls – on ''[[The Jerry Springer Show]]'', but here they are handled with utmost sympathy. None of these goings-on is presented as sordid or seedy. The presentation is as bright, glossy, and seductive as a fashion magazine . . . The tone of ''All About My Mother'' has the heart-on-the-sleeve emotions of soap opera, but it is completely sincere and by no means [[Camp (style)|camp]]".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/1999/12/22/DD71088.DTL |title=San Francisco Chronicle review |work=San Francisco Chronicle |date=22 December 1999 |access-date=3 February 2012 |first=Bob |last=Graham}}</ref>

Wesley Morris of the ''[[San Francisco Examiner]]'' called the film "a romantically labyrinthine tribute that piles layers of inter-textual shout-outs to ''All About Eve'', Tennessee Williams, [[Truman Capote]], [[Federico García Lorca]] and [[Alfred Hitchcock]], and beautifully assesses the nature of facades . . . Almodóvar imbues his [[Romance novel|Harlequin-novel]]-meets-[[Marvel Comics|Marvel-comic-book]] melodramas with something more than a wink and a smile, and it is beguiling. His expressionism and his screenwriting have always had fun together, but now there is a kind of faith and spirituality that sexcapades like ''[[Law of Desire]]'' and ''[[Kika (1993 film)|Kika]]'' only laughed at... it contains a host of superlative firsts: a handful of the only truly moving scenes he has filmed, the most gorgeous dialogue he has composed, his most dimensional performances of his most dimensional characters and perhaps his most dynamic photography and elaborate production design".<ref>{{cite news|author=Wesley Morris, Examiner Film Critic |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/e/a/1999/12/22/STYLE8676.dtl |title=San Francisco Examiner review |work=San Francisco Chronicle |date=22 December 1999 |access-date=3 February 2012}}</ref>

Jonathan Holland of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' called the film "emotionally satisfying and brilliantly played" and commented, "The emotional tone is predominantly dark and confrontational . . . But thanks to a sweetly paced and genuinely witty script, pic doesn't become depressing as it focuses on the characters' stoic resilience and good humor".<ref>{{cite news|last=Holland |first=Jonathan |url=https://www.variety.com/review/VE1117492027.html?categoryid=31&cs=1&p=0 |title=Variety review |work=Variety |date=15 April 1999 |access-date=3 February 2012}}</ref>
