Talk to Her (2002) is a hugely rich and interesting though
ambiguous film that met with both popular success and critical
acclaim. The film won an Oscar for best original screenplay and has
been hailed by some critics as Pedro Almodovar's masterpiece. Yet
like most of Almodovar's films, little is clear cut. The characters
are complex and our affinity and empathy for them shifts throughout
the film. In Studying Talk to Her, Emily Hughes provides an
in-depth analysis of both the formal elements of the film (its
narrative, genre, and auteur study) and the themes and issues it
raises, discussing the social context of modern Spain and its old,
traditional iconography; shifting attitudes towards gender; and,
crucially, the film's uneasy, morally ambiguous depiction of rape
and the spectator's reaction to it.
