"Talk to Her"

I got sucked into this movie last night on IFC. Weird, weird, weird storyline, but watchable somehow. That's probably why it won an Oscar. Odd that I'd never heard of this movie, watched it, then later today came across the soundtrack listed on someone's website. It's set in Spain, has subtitles. A journalist falls in love with a female bullfighter that ends up in a coma. In the hospital he meets this whacko that works at the hospital, caring for the girl he semi-stalked/adored from a distance. It went off a few times into some weird side stories. The oddest being one about a silent movie, where a female scientist accidentally shrinks her lover. Who then naturally decides to wander all over her body while she sleeps. Eventually deciding to crawl into her vagina. The gross factor of this is totally overshadowed by the fact that for the entire scene I kept thinking, someone got paid to create a giant set of legs with a anatomically correct crotch. And then what do you do with THAT set when the movie is over?
