It’s the story of two women–a ballet dancer and a bullfighter, both of whom happen to be in comas–and the men who love them. The intense, unlikely friendship that develops between Benigno (Javier Camara), an ardently devoted nurse, and Marco (Dario Grandinetti), an Argentine writer, is at the core of this wholly original tale, but no plot synopsis can begin to convey the moving, subterranean emotions “Talk to Her” evokes. It’s Almodovar’s most mature and mysterious movie. “Talk to Her” takes you places you haven’t been, but Almodovar isn’t after shock anymore. He’s looking for miracles, and he finds them in the most forbidden places.
