Movie #193 - Talk to Her (2002)
*** 1/2


What a unique, wonderful film. The subject matter is as depressing and sorrowful as anyone can come up with, but Pedro Almodovar films it in a vibrant, almost creepy way. The film follows two men. One is in love with a champion bullfighting woman who is gored and put into a vegetative state. The other is infatuated, but hardly knows, a bellerina who dances across from his window...and she is put it a vegetative state from a car accident. The one who loves his woman can't touch, look, or speak to her lifeless body. The one who only yearns for his woman talks to her like they are a seasoned married couple. The emotions run high, confused, and a little bit unnaturally. I love when my emotions are pulled in so many ways at one time.
