Pina Bausch Film Series (in partnership with NZ Festival)

Talk to Her
Sunday 13 March, 11am and 2pm | Free, no bookings required.

Pina Bausch appears as herself in the opening scene of Talk To Her, performing in Café Müller while two strangers meet in the audience. Each of these strangers will become a caregiver for a woman trapped in a coma, and if this sounds a restrained premise for a drama, count on Almodóvar to prove otherwise. Obsession, moral jeopardy, soulful comedy and sexual transgression: restraint is not this director’s thing at all. DIR. Pedro Almódovar| Spain | 2002 | 112min | R13 | Subtitled
