'Talk To Her'

During this little project, I've had the grand opportunity to view a number of fantastic foreign films that I never would've given a chance otherwise ("The Barbarian Invasions," "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari," "Russian Ark" and others).

"Talk to Her" is no different. It's mostly about heartbreak. Just going to go ahead and say it's all about heartbreak from the uber-creepy Benigno to the very lovable Marco, who derives a great amount of sympathy from the audience.

It's a quiant and quiet film with some really great shots (particularly from above ... Alicia, naked, getting washed; Lydia after getting gored). It's also a really great film for using the maximum amount of natural light ... especially in the indoor clinic scenes. Very earthy, natural feel.
