The Human Voice
Madness and melancholy interact with thrilling effects where isolation has become a way of life. We don’t hear his side of the conversation, just Tilda as she walks and talks around her technicolor apartment. It’s confessional in its framing of this one-sided conversation.
She vents her anger in crisp outbursts of demented passion into discreetly tucked airpods. It looks like she’s talking to herself . . . as no one really talks like this. But who cares, it’s thrilling to watch.
In the world of Pedro Almodóvar, where feelings and sexuality are heightened as modes of expression. The Human Voice rushes along in its 25 minutes running time . . . taking you along for the ride with concentrated bursts of despair & desire.
The film is available to stream on MUBI now – and is also available on limited edition DVD/Blu ray.
