A film experience like "Hable Con Ella" is a spiritual one, that reaches through both Almodovar's and our own imagination to the very heart of being human and at the same time rising to a transcendence that's usually reserved for life's most sublime moments.
Retelling the "plot" is unnecessary here (much has already been written). The effectiveness of this movie reached me at the depth it did, not only through the writing, the visual images and performances, per se, but most profoundly through the symbolic nature of the material...that makes it expansive, universal. In any language it can touch and inspire anyone living on this planet...like hearing Mozart, or seeing a Rembrandt or a Hiroshige. Art is art in any medium...and this is a masterpiece!
Thank you Sr. Almodovar and all who were involved in this magnificent work!!
