all about my mother, todo sobre mi madre

This film was extremely well written, offering a play within a movie, paired with a movie within a movie that weaves together the lives of the characters. the characters themselves were memorable, and well played by the talented actors that came together to make this movie. 
There are quite a few perspective shots made within the movie, which I think reflect the theme of changing perspectives that is incorporated throughout the film.
Utilizing the world of Transvestites, and the transgendered in order to tell the story of a middle aged woman who has lost her son is poignant, and moving, as is the open attitude, and humane and tolerant way in which the characters are treated throughout the film.
