Talk to Her (Hable con ella) is Pedro Almodovar’s sixteenth film as a director. It is difficult to describe the plot of the film as it travels back and forth in time, ranging from intense moments of psychological insight to an amusing silent film sequence, and I would loath to give away any of the entertaining and twisting plot development so characteristic of Almodovar’s films. It primarily focuses on the relationship between two men: the antisocial, sexually ambiguous and lovingly charming Benigno (Javier Camara) and stalwart but emotional sensitive Marco (Dario Grandinetti) as they attend their respective women in permanent sleep at the hospital. A chance encounter at the theatre leads to a later encounter where a seemingly casual friendship grows into a desperate bond. Solitude is the predominant theme of this lively, entertaining and provoking film. There are countless moments for the protagonists to contemplate their life and loves alone. Despite its serious subject matter, Almodovar’s masterful handling creates an entertaining story filled with wit and humor. The characters possess compelling quirks and are wonderfully realised in a stunning cast. Amazing performances are given from peripheral characters such as the ballerina instructor, Katerina (Geraldine Chaplin) and the caretaker (Chus Lampreave). Meticulous Almodovar fans will enjoy spotting cameo appearances by past stars from his films. This is an intricate and ceaselessly compelling film that should attract a wide mature audience.
The film begins and ends in the theatre. The performances there suitably reflect the dilemmas evoked in the film and the relationships of the men with their women. The fascinating thing about this film is the way that a story between the men is handled on the surface whilst a subconsciouss story is told by the women in their comas. Gradually, through the use of flashbacks, their story emerges and we are led to image what is happening in their heads while in the hospital. It is interesting to note that the silent film sequence was originally written by Almodovar to be made into a full-length silent film. What we are given is a delightful though shocking glimpse of what that would have been. It is touching to see Almodovar’s small nod of tribute to Michael Cunningham’s The Hours which is a novel he states he really enjoyed. The film characteristically stretches our ideas of high drama and the far-reaching regions of sexuality. This is a beautiful film to follow from Almodovar’s internationally successful All About My Mother (Todo Sobre Mi Madre).
Pedro Almodovar has something different up his sleeve with his newest, “Talk to Her.” Whereas in the past his concerns have been almost exclusively with a woman’s mindset as in “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown” or “All About My Mother,” “Talk to Her” is about men and their inability to communicate, open up to their loved ones. Of course, being that Almodovar is a Spaniard, Machismo plays a big part in the world in which he lives, but here he is looking for the Universal; the things that bind us all together as Mankind. And what would seem a pretty basic theme in most directors’ hands becomes in Almodovar’s, a difficult, sympathetic and plaintive treatise rife with complexity and turmoil. Almodovar is never out for the easy fix. As one of the leads (Benigno played by Jose Camara), who has no problem showing his emotions, says to his counterpart (Marco played by Dario Grandinetti):”Talk to her…a woman’s likes to feel that she is cared for and cherished.” (paraphrase)
As sometimes happens in life, these two disparate men become friends; the one coaching the other on the ways and means of understanding how to deal with what is not only in front of our eyes but also what is out there in the cosmos.
Almodovar’s world is usually a hard candy colored world of zany characters, blatant sexuality and pure fun, but in “Talk to Her,” as in “All about my Mother” his palette is subdued, his mise-en-scene still and quiet. With age, he has become not only more introspective but also wiser.
