Product Description

Quelques mois après s'être trouvés côte à côte lors d'une pièce de théâtre, deux hommes, Benigno et Marco, se retrouvent dans une clinique privée où travaille Benigno. Une jeune femme torero, Lydia, petite amie de Marco, a été renversée par un taureau et est tombée dans le coma. Benigno s'occupe quant à lui d'une autre femme dans le coma, Alicia, une jeune danseuse. Le temps retenu entre les murs de cette clinique se chargera d'emmener les quatre personnages dans des directions inattendues… Parle avec elle est une histoire d'amitié et d'amour, de solitude et d'affection. Les acteurs sont excellents, les dialogues brillants, et la photo particulièrement soignée, comme c'est souvent le cas avec Almodovar qui, détail intéressant, avait originellement écrit la séquence en noir et blanc muet afin d'en faire un long métrage. C'est donc les yeux fermés que vous pourrez acquérir cet émouvant DVD, une réussite de plus au palmarès de l'extravagant espagnol. --David Rault!

this is insane! am i the only one who notices how horrible this film was? i was getting ready to see something great and instead i was landed with a crappy 2 hour long movie about nothing. the first hour was totally irrelivant. Please tell me, what was the plot? the first hour why was that necessary? people rave about how it expressed love and the stages of adoration yet the first part of the movie, first hour, was about absolutely nothing. Then all of a sudden, the whole "unexistant plot" changes and we are then exposed to a sort of sweet story about a man who is deeply in love with a woman in a coma... if that was the plot, fine, but why stick that horrible and waste of time first hour! please explain this to me, if this is this man's best movie, it makes me wonder what his other movies were like because i can hardly imagine something worse that Habla Con Ella..
... for those who feel that the "rape" was violent or offensive, please not, there was NO violence in the movie, the man by the way if you didnt notice because the movie was so boring, was actually very good to alicia and in the twisted sort of way his raping, if that can be called raped, was what brought the 4 year sleeping beauty back to reality...
am i wrong?

Format:VHS Tape
My second favorite Almodovar film, after 'All About My Mother'. A moving and complex study of the relationship between two men, and their connection to women in comas. A few brilliantly funny moments, and some ultimately very creepy undertones keep it from being over-sentimental. Every character is more complex then they first appear, and the confusion between what is good and what is bad in both intent and effect is very rich. Some great camera work too. Gets slow in a few spots, and the sentiment still goes over the top in a few places, but still a terrific film about the similarities and differences between love and obsession.

An engaging, quirky film
There are 4 main characters to the story but each one is engaging in his/her own way. None of them possess "perfect" good looks but the character development and the plot... Read more

What does it all mean?
I think there is a tendency among critics, reviewers, movie-goers to rate a foreign film slightly higher than English-speaking counterparts. Read more
