Life on hold: ‘Talk to her’ and the meanings of death

This paper aims to reflect on the multiple meanings of death in today’s society, starting from the film ‘Talk to her’, by Pedro Almodóvar. For this, the film and the socioanthropological reading of Menezes on ‘good death’, ‘modern death’ and ‘postmodern death’ are discussed, taking into consideration notions about people and naturalness. This effort ultimately ends up resulting in another approach between death, life and birth within current days while thinking about their approaches and semantics today.

‘Talk to her’; Death; Life; Person
