Almodover's latest, "Talk to Her," was very well attended, first matinee at the Westgate, of all places, with a long line waiting for the second showing. It made an excellent distraction. Many of those attending were there solo, so one must assume that there are lots who couldn't persuade a friend or mate to attend but wanted to see it enough to go anyhow. At first we were among the few laughing. The IMDB lists it first as a comedy, so I don't know why people started out being so solemn. Later the comedy struck the audience. K., who usually knows quite a bit about dance, hadn't heard of Pina Bausch, whose company was also used to comedic effect. As always, Almodovar used music extremely evocatively, even Caetano Veloso, even singing "Cucurrucucu Paloma."
