"Talk To Me" a film by Pedro Almodovar and a couple of pics!
My left eye lid started hiccuping' tonight after I'd watched the Pedro Almodovar picture - "Talk To Me".
Just thought I'd share that thought with you!
If it happens again with the same director I'll warn all of you!
Maybe I should ask the film/DVD distributor to put a warning label on their product too!
Anyway (and that's one of my favorite words!) I don't have the time now to write a full movie review yet ( sorry Nick!) as I have another flick to watch, "Babel" before getting back to work tomorrow morning!
But, what I will say is this - the acting was outstanding, the plot, er, well, you could kinda' figure out the whole picture after all the main players were put into place, but that didn't spoil yet another class picture from this acclaimed Spanish director!
Although - having said that I did find a few scenes a bit slow and superfluous, but the un-ending of the piece made it worth the two or three yawns!
Still the film is thoroughly lucid, perfectly paced with great performances from the whole cast. The script I can't say much about, but the subtitles were good enough for a muppet like myself!
My wife, Melissa, who speaks fluent Spanish did mention a few lines that were so much more descriptive than the usual bland English translation, that I wished for a moment that I had of payed more attention to my languages classes many years ago!
Here's an example, "Sleep on it" (English Subtitle) - "Consulte tu almueda" (Spanish) - translates to "Consult your pillow."
If you are into the Art House/Foreign film genres than this one is worth net-flixing'/blockbusting' beyond a shadow of a doubt!
Anyway (!) thanks to more comments from "Phil" and my Canadian/Dutch pal "Bubbles", and "Bubbles" why the Hell hasn't "Arnold" written to me! NOT NICE! "He is number....in all of the Netherlands!"
Finally and without further ado here are some photographs I took last year!
"A Train" to 42nd Street, Times Square. 2006.
"Times Square - not far from the 'shuttle'. 2006.
