Da un libro che è incentrato sulla necessità umana di comunicare nelle sue svariate forme - dalla comunicazione tra i sessi alla letteratura passando per il cinema, la narrazione e la filosofia -, una necessità così forte e prorompente, fondamentale per l’esistenza umana eppure calata in un mondo in cui l’incomunicabilità, il malinteso, l’errore sono all’ordine del giorno; da un libro del genere, insomma, mi aspettavo che mi dicesse e comunicasse qualcosa in più.
Molto belle le citazioni a Varda, Seidl, Waters, Akermann però. Speriamo che il film di Almodóvar sia migliore.
