The Skin I Live In: International Teaser Trailer 2011 HD [2]
On 7 October 2011 "The Skin I Live In" is, like most films by the
Spanish director a film that cannot be pitched or explained in a few
sentences. I am reminded of his superb work in "Talk to her" and "All
about my mother". "Talk to her" was a love story between a woman in a
coma and her rapist while Mother was a film about a nun with AIDS, a
transvestite with a hearth of gold and a woman searching for her
son's heart. In one sentence Almodovar's films all sound twisted at
best. But in the hands of a master they are beautiful works of art.
Same goes for "The Skin I Live In". In a sentence (like many who
haven't watched the film are quick to point out) the film sounds
creepy at best and deals with a plot that makes most uncomfortable. A
plastic surgeon (Banderas) belongs to family straight out of
Pasolini's Salo. He keeps a beautiful woman (Anaya) as a guinea pig
and he tries to create a new kind of skin. But Anaya's character, in
what seems the major metaphor of the film, preserves her inner
persona intact regardless of what happens to her body. As in most of
Almodovar's films the layers become more complex as the movie evolves
and towards the end of the film there's a plot twist only Freud could
have come up with. Without spoilers I would like to point out that
the director seems to use horror as a channel to explore the
violation of every moral code embodied by the characters. With a
magnificent score by Alberto Iglesias, Almodovar tries for a
difficult genre and it pays *...* From:
