Product Description From Pedro Almod var the director of the Academy-Award® winning All About My Mother (Best Foreign Language Film 2000) comes his most acclaimed film yet. TALK TO HER is the surprising altogether original and quietly moving story of the spoken and unspoken bonds that unite the lives and loves of two couples. Two men (Benigno and Marco) almost meet while watching a dance performance but their lives are irrevocably entwined by fate. They meet later at a private clinic where Benigno is the caregiver for Alicia a beautiful dance student who lies in a coma. Marco is there to visit his girlfriend Lydia a famous matador also rendered motionless. As the men wage vigil over the women they love the story unfolds in flashback and flashforward as the lives of the four are further entwined and their relationships move toward a surprising conclusion.DVD FeaturesPedro Almodovar and Geraldine Chaplin CommentaryWeblinks to movie website and official Pedro Almodovar websiteDigitally Mastered Audio & Anarmorphic VideoMastered in High DefinitionAudio: Spanish 5.1 (Dolby Digital) French 5.1 (Dolby Digital)Subtitles: English FrenchBonus TrailersInteractive MenusScene SelectionsSystem Requirements:Running Time 114 MinsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: MYSTERY/SUSPENSE Rating: R UPC: 043396089167 Manufacturer No: 08916
Amazon.com Writer-director Pedro Almodóvar makes another masterpiece with Talk to Her, his first film since the wonderful All About My Mother. Marco (Dario Grandinetti) is in love with Lydia (Rosario Flores), a female bullfighter who is gored by a bull and sent into a coma. In the hospital, Marco crosses paths with Benigno (Javier Camara), a male nurse who looks after another coma patient, a young dancer named Alicia (Leonor Watling). From Benigno's gentle attentiveness to Alicia, Marco learns to take care of Lydia... but from there, the story goes in directions that deftly manage to be sad, hopeful, funny, and creepy, sometimes at the same time. The rich human empathy of Almodóvar's recent films is passionate, heartbreaking, intoxicating--there aren't enough adjectives to praise this remarkable filmmaker, who is at the height of his powers. Talk to Her is superb, with outstanding performances from all involved. --Bret Fetzer
