Review of Talk to Her (2002) by Panta O — 17 Aug 2012
"Hable con ella" is a delightful movie to watch. It is written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar in such great style that stars Javier Cámara, Darío Grandinetti, Leonor Watling, Geraldine Chaplin, and Rosario Flores were let to shine in all of their glamour! The screenplay is outstanding and that is the reason that it won the 2002 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and the 2003 Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign-Language Film.
The deep subject of the difficulty of communication between the sexes, loneliness and intimacy, and the persistence of love beyond loss is explored thoroughly in the way which is not overwhelming - of course subjects like this could be hard to entertain the wider audience, but this art work had no problems with it.
Wonderful mystique is used so well and when you are not sure where will everything lead you, pieces start falling into places with an almost surreal enjoyment (most of the time).
Don't miss it!
