ALMODÓVAR DOUBLE FEATURE

A woman watches time passing next to the suitcases of her ex-lover (who is supposed to come pick them up, but never arrives) and a restless dog who doesn’t understand that his master has abandoned him. Two living beings facing abandonment.

THE HUMAN VOICE will be shown with Pedro Almodóvar’s WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN , which played at The Ross (then the Sheldon Film Theater) when it was originally released in 1988.

Reviews

“THE HUMAN VOICE, in all its delicious absurdity and kitsch extravagance, ties into the concerns of emotional abandonment and disrupted communication that have long run through his [Almodóvar’s] more ostensibly serious works.”

Guy Lodge
Variety

“This is Almodóvar, and so the magnificence is worn lightly, with irony and mischief and a cheeky little moral about how to be a modern woman trapped in the very unmodern role of spurned lover: be hysterical if you want, be philosophical if you can, but never underestimate the liberating power of a little light revenge.”
