As this has being praised over a
decade by many critics around the world and after truly witnessing it, I have
to admit this is one beautiful piece of cinema. Dramas are meant to be serious,
practical and more than anything emotional. Talk to Her is all of that plus
many more. This starts with powerful visuals of a stage play and it returns into one at the very end as well. And we find one person common in the audience
and another replaced in the final sequence. But the truly remarkable things are
the incidences happen in-between these two stage plays taken over months to
evolve. It speaks of a story about two men who have fallen in love with two
women who ends up in a coma and has very little hope of ever living a normal
life again. But there are significant differences between these two men and the
relationships they are in. One maybe conditional and the other with great pain
is unconditional. But both of them find comfort of their own dilemmas and strive
to give the best. This movie flows smoothly and gives you some hints of things
to come. But it’s purely based on a scenario which anyone of us would never
want to experience in our lives. That’s the tragedy that brings this movie to
an artistically perfect point. As a viewer you will cry with the cast and hope
there will be some hope for them. Yet you may find little of that in the end. There
are no mysteries here. It’s straight as breathing through a coma.
Talk to Her (2002) Spanish,
Rating 4/5
