Talk to Her (2002)

Hable con ella (original title)

Genre: Drama
*ing: Rosario Flores, Javier Cámara and Darío Grandinetti

Two men whose lady loves are in a state of coma and admitted in the same hospital strike a strange friendship, while their ladies remain in a vegetative state, eventually 2 die and the surviving 2 drift in a different direction ... brilliant movie. Brilliant in terms of script and direction. I wish to rate the acting as something to watch for ... however ... quite honestly speaking ... the cast seems to have done an average job ... maybe a better cast with more impressive performances would have made this movie more interesting. Also, I did like the script and it's quite well executed ... I wouldn't say it's flawless execution ... script is riddled with holes .... but for reason ... you don't quite see the holes and it still keeps you interested in the movie. The script keeps moving back and forth, left and right, up and down in the lives of the four characters and yet manages to tell you a story that keeps you interested ... I guess that's because of the awesome direction by Pedro Almodovar and some editing work at the edit table. Bottom-Line ... very impressive cinematic experience. Must watch.
