Movies where the main characters can’t communicate fluently or with great difficulty always fill me with an indescribable feeling. I especially like it in love stories. As someone who understands spoken and written Spanish but can’t do either efficiently, this barrier to language is more one of separation from a person, people and their culture. The scattering and dislocation of humanity. Filmmakers showing people try to overcome this hurdle of separation is beautiful to me.
