Love is a strange emotion, awakening oceanic depths of creativity, thought, and malevolence, to be deconstructed, refurnished, and psycho-analyzed, as maelstroms, typhoons, and sunsets qualify particular epochs and re-materialize evocative conjectures.
Pedro Almodóvar's Talk to Her (Hable con ella) examines love's destructively revitalizing spirit by introducing two men both in love with women in comas. Benigno Martín (Javier Cámara) loves Alicia (Leonor Watling), a dancer whose been in his care for 4 years. He talks to her constantly and treats her as if she's cognizant in the hopes of one day awakening her from her slumber. Marco Zuluaga (Darío Grandinetti) loves Lydia González (Rosario Flores), a volatile matador whose managed to successfully compete in bull fighting's chauvinistic domain. After having been gorged by a bull, little hope is predicted for her survival. Benigno and Marco strike up a related friendship and contrast one another productively. While Benigno possesses the fantastic self-taught grit and determination of a confident yet fragile artistic tragedy, Marco is a journalist and thoroughly educated in the 'realistic traditions of rationality.' Benigno's passionate and devoted approach has a resounding affect on the broken Marco, whose objectivity is eventually remodelled by the clearcut desires of his sensitivities.
One of the most affective investigations of friendship I've seen, Talk to Her presents a subjective ideal tempered by practice whose theoretical forecasts are realistically detonated. In the aftermath a friend awaits, patiently supporting his fallen compatriot, through thick and thin.
