Pedro Almodóvar is one wacky guy. I’ve seen several of his films, including ¡Átame!, Todo sobre mi madre, and La Ley del deseo, and my reaction is always the same: wow, that was weird…but I liked it.

Talk to Her is no different. Suffice to say the ‘her’ in question is a woman in a coma and you begin to get the idea that this film is far from the beaten path. But even that is not the most eyebrow-raising element. That distinction would have to go to the sex scene, which I would put against any movie I’ve seen as the weirdest (and most hilarious) ever.

There’s just nothing like an Almodóvar film. Just go see it. (If you don’t end up liking it, you probably need to loosen up.)
