Talk to Her, directed by Pedro Almodóvar, Spain

Talk to Her, directed by Pedro Almodóvar, Spain Movie-making sends more young phenoms into early burnout than Olympic gymnastics. But Almodóvar defies the odds: the quirky melodramas of this one-time bad boy get better, richer, deeper. Talk to Her is about two young women, each in a coma, and the two men who love them. Where does devotion end and obsession take over? How can violation beget a miracle? How can a perfect ending seem like a perfect beginning? Pedro has all the answers in this unpredictable miracle of a movie.
