h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Went to see Hable con Ella (Talk to Her) tonight.

Go see it!

But yeah, as a lover of European cinema, I was ashamed that I had not seen a 'proper' Spanish film. And after watching Hable con Ella by the hugely talented director Pedro Almodovar, what an introduction! Yeah yeah, so it was the first film by Almodovar I've seen, but after seeing the feature in Sight and Sound a couple of issues back, I knew I had to find out more.

I'm not going to tell you about the film - that'd be a Guide entry - but I strongly suggest everyone to go and see this very unconventional romance. 'Noooooo, not romance!' I hear you cry! It's not a soppy, Love Story kind of film; to give you some insight, the story centres on two men who have fallen for two women in comas. They knew these women before, of course! But while one finds out that he isn't loved back, the other grows more and more 'obsessed' with his love, with tragic results.

Want to know more? I'm not giving much away here unless you've seen it, so get yourself down to the cinema for what has to be the best film this year so far - after Spidey, of course!
