Review of Talk to Her (2002) by Mega M — 09 Mar 2009

Many people tend to shy away from foreign cinema because it involves a lot of undertones, symbolism & in some cases heavy doses of pretense. I, for the most part, like that & welcome the difference. But, rest assured TALK TO HER/HABLE CON ELLA can be fulfilling on any level you wish to view it on. I've been a fan of Almodovar since seeing WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. He's taken it upon himself to focus primarily on women in his films & time & time again, manages to bring a fresh & moving tribute to "us" wonderful creatures. The title says it all, TALK TO HER/us, the wonders that a few words can do to the fairer sex (and actions obviously)!!!

It's nice to get out of the monotony of & try to see what wonders some of the foreign cinema has to offer. A MUST SEE; it boasts a finely crafted script with great acting & another wonderful tribute to the powers that all women have & what some men must do (and often can't) to reach the deepest, darkest depths of our heart. Heh, heh, seriously though, if ur still hesitating on trying out ur first foreign film, I can't think of a better film on which to get the ball rolling than this one... SO. GO ALREADY...
