The Library of Congress Packard Campus Theatre presents “Talk to Her”
(Sony Pictures Classics, 2002– R-rated *) Spanish auteur Pedro Almodovar’s Oscar-winning film (for Best Writing, Original Screenplay) redefines love in all its weird and surprising permutations with this characteristically eccentric tale involving a lady bullfighter, a male nurse, a ballet dancer and a journalist with hyperactive tear ducts. A deliciously precarious balance between comedy and drama, “Talk to Her” is ultimately a tribute to the balm that words provide, the infinite variations of rending compassion and artistry, and the ease with which it invites tears or laughter along with the hypnotic quality of the storytelling. Almodovar also received an Oscar nomination for Best Direction. The film is in Spanish with English subtitles. *No one under the age of 17 will be admitted without a parent or guardian. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations required. For more information, call 202-707- 9994.
