5.0 out of 5 stars changed my view of soundtrack albums!, 2 Sep 2003
By F. Mckay "fungus2443" (Stirling, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In general I steer well clear of movie soundtracks as I think they're often either a) irrelevant without the movie when the music is composed specially for it or b) a cynical way of creaming a few extra bucks out of the movie going public by creating a compilation CD of stuff available elsewhere.

However the Tomas Mendez song "Cucurrucucu Paloma" as performed by Caetano Veloso is so utterly haunting, mesmerising, unusual and affecting in the film that I found myself unable not to buy this soundtrack and I'm glad I did. Apart from this song which really is the musical centrepiece of both the movie and the soundtrack, Alberto Iglesias' other compositions are stirring and beautiful.

It helped in my appreciation of this CD that, as a generally discerning and hyper critical film fanatic I was unable to express how "Hable Con Ella" affected me - suffice to say it immediately entered my top ten films of all time. The CD then, evokes many memories of the film and, although many of the mood creating instrumentals do not necessarily bear repeated listening (they are afterall intended to accompany the visuals of the film) there is quite enough on this CD to have you reaching for it again and again.

Besides the ethereal "Cucurrucucu Paloma" the opening two tracks are far more than just background music and will have guests at your dinner party asking what they're listening to (if that's your cup of tea) and "Por Toda a Minha Vida" with the voice of Ellis Regina is lovely.

AS the album draws to a close "Raquel" and "The fairy Queen" are delightful and it's impossible to listen to the gentle but upbeat Raquel without seeing a line of wiggling bottoms moving across the stage.

Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars So good, it distracted me from the 5* film!, 19 Jul 2003
By C. Nation "chrisnation" (Bristol UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Almodovar, through his director of music Alberto Iglesias, in this film almost rivals the maestro of the music-track, Don Martin Scorsese. The song "Cucurrucucu Paloma" is extraordinary, very beautiful and perfectly sets the tone for the moment when Lydia and Marco have their most tender moment. But indeed, it is the "paloma triste", foretelling what is to come, death and heartbreak.

There is a much more deliberate and overt Spanish and Latin flavour to the music than in previous Almodovar films, although Iglesias has set other Almodovar films. All of it is evocative and captivating.

Every now and then, a song or a tune will encapsulate or define a film. The zither in "The Third Man" conjures up Orson Welles peering out of the shadows, Morricone's plangent guitar riff represents a dusty dog scuttling across a windswept street in the Very Wild West, before all hell breaks loose, the intro to "Born To Be Wild" immediately evokes Hopper and Fonda astride their choppers, going to look for America.

For me, "Cucurrucucu Paloma" will always bring to mind Rosario Flores's magnificent and sensational Lydia and "Raquel" leads us out of the tragedy of Lydia and Begnino with gentle humour, on to the evident hope of Marco and Alicia, as the dancers shimmy onto the stage with that delicious wiggle on the beat, at the close of the film. 5* music. 5* film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hable Con Ella, 28 Nov 2003
By A Customer
This was one of the best movies I have ever seen. The song Cucurrucucu Paloma is the most haunting songs I have ever heard and it was because of this I purchased the soundtrack on cd. I couldn't recommend this one enough.
