Leonor Watling’s that stunning girl in Pedro Almovodar’s 2002 film Talk To Her, where almost throughout the movie you’d see her in a coma in varying degrees of nudity. Well, she’d also dance and walk on streets and live a normal life, but the point is, Pedro Almodovar tells the bulk of her story by making her to almost do nothing, and by letting her “admirer” Benigno eat his own tragedy. Below is the trailer of the film.

Leonor has a band called Marlango, and as far as I know it, they’ve released two albums. I liked the first eponymous one more than the second, Automatic Imperfection.

Below are two songs from the first album that I really dig, the first is called “Madness” and the second is “Once Upon A Time.” The third one is a song called “Pequeno Vals,” this time from the second album.

Liking the rest of the band’s songs is probably an acquired taste; they kind of grow on you. I guess there’s nothing like a naked girl in a coma to make you want to know more about her.
