Madness and melancholy intersect to thrilling effect as Almodovar reimagines Jean Cocteau's short play "The Human Voice" for an era in which isolation has become a way of life. Laws of desire become the rules of the game as Tilda Swinton's unnamed woman paces and panics in a glorious Technicolor apartment where decor offers a window into her state of mind. A short, sharp shot of distilled Almodovar: passion, emotion, heartbreak, wit, and melodrama exquisitely bound up in a tale for our times. Shot over nine days in Madrid, and premiered to critical acclaim at the Venice Film Festival, The Human Voice is Almodovar's first work in the English language. (Pathé Distribution UK)
