As you probably already know the biggest delusion of all in this life is to try and be perfect. Artistic pieces that have often pictured as perfect are in fact far from that. Some of them are also dated movies that dinosaur critics picture as perfect because they live in another time and in another planet. The thing that is more important in a movie is the soul of the film. The guts of the movie. And when your movie has soul, there is no flaw that can destroy that. Your movie might be filled with flaws, still there is something in there far bigger than those flaws that makes your movie truly worthy. John Cameron Mitchell is a man of guts, there is no doubt about that. All of his films have something that makes them unique artistic pieces with a clear and fearless expression, away from cliches and inside authenticity and ingenuity. Mitchell is a man of few words. From 2001 he has made only four feature films. But when he decides to speak, then he knows pretty damn well what he is talking about.
This film of his is a wild and crazy journey inside the punk-era of England combined with a totally lunatic science fiction story. The smell of the movie is that of the uncompromising, teenager, revolutionary flavor. His film is totally fearless, it's uniquely bold and it has that element of the big surprise for the spectator who feels that he is been put inside a tube and that tube is traveling with the speed of light to unknown places and territories. How To Talk is a movie that defies conservatism, spits on decency and takes a huge shit on authority. It's clearly an authentic punk movie, with the word punk written in capital and gold letters and it's one of those movies that will be loved by people who still have that fire burning inside of them. For the brave, the dirty, the filthy and the ones that have understood that life is something that happens only once.
