Talk To Her
October 27, 2007

Went to the last of the Everyman Cinema's Pedro Almodovar days earlier today. Somehow I seem to have managed to get through life without seeing any of his films up until now. Talk To Her was accompanied by a Spanish wine and tortilla. Very civilised. And the cinema sells Chilli Chocolate Almonds. Nice!

Talk to Her [Hable Con Ella] revolves around two men who become friends while taking care of the comatose women they love. Flowing through past, present and future and an unsuspecting destiny it combines elements of modern dance and silent film-making with a narrative that embraces coincidence and fate. It plots the lives of characters, thrown together by unimaginably bad luck, towards an unexpected conclusion. It's equal parts weird and moving and I expect I will be working my way through Almodovar's movies quite quickly.

Walking back to West Hampstead Thameslink we popped into the Camden Arts Centre for a quick drink and peruse of the book shop and stuck our heads round the door of Jeroboams to see if they had a bottle of the Rioja we had in the cinema. They didn't. So we headed home before popping out for dinner with Karol and Kev at the Food Room. Nice food... very slow service. And a lot more red wine.

Will be taking it easy tomorrow. Got an Evening Viewing with Drinks and Talk by Gachi Prieto at Eyestorm on Monday, Haloween party on Wednesday, Soulwax at Koko on Thursday and a possible visit to Bethnal Green on Friday as well... for Green & Red's Los Dias de Los Muertos evening.
