Talk To Her

Starring: Rosario Flores, Javier Camara

RS: 4of 4 Stars

2002 Romance

Maybe you heard this was the Spanish movie about two guys (Javier Camara and Dar'o Grandinetti) who sit in a hospital day after day chatting with the women they love -- one a dancer (Leonor Watling), the other a bullfighter (Rosario Flores), and both in comas. Maybe you decided to skip it. Big mistake. Wildman director Pedro Almodovar, who won an Oscar for his screenplay, provides audio commentary, but it's the film -- preserved on disc to catch every nuance in image and sound -- that shocks and amazes, no maybes about it.
