Directed by: Pedro Almodóvar
Starring: Javier Cámara, Darío Grandinetti, Leonor Watling, Rosario Flores, Geraldine Chaplin
I’m a little written-out on this film, but in 2006 I wrote, “With this film, Almodóvar pushes the envelope in ways that few filmmakers have ever dared—both stylistically and thematically. ... It’s typical Pedro Almodóvar in its soapy plot line, but it goes much further in its taboo subject matter than any of his previous films. After all, Talk to Her is—at least in one respect—the love story of a man and a comatose patient under his care at a hospital. Typical of Pedro Almodóvar, he doesn’t judge this, but he does observe it with a wry sense of humor (as when the man explains his relationship with the patient as being like any other couple except that they ‘get along better than most’). The shocking thing is finally less the relationship than the fact that Pedro Almodóvar makes the man sympathetic.”
