"There's an early decisive moment in Pedro Almodvar's exhilarating film The Skin I Live In, when Robert Ledgard, a plastic surgeon and madman played with soul weariness by Antonio Banderas, gazes at the image of a woman on the wall of his bedroom. She's bigger than life, this woman, and more beautiful. He calls her Vera (Elena Anaya), and she's stretched out in the classic recumbent pose of the odalisque: that exotic Turkish harem dweller...There's something different about Vera, though it's initially difficult to pinpoint what. Ledgard lives in a mansion brightened with paintings of big nudes and blooms, and when you first see him looking at Vera, it's as if he were viewing another canvas or a photo, or peering into a window. Yet this is no ordinary image; rather, it's a surveillance video, and Vera has just tried to kill herself. Ledgard won't stand for that and rushes in to save her, patching up a body that's the centerpiece in an intoxicating, lush mystery. There are several genres nimbly folded into The Skin I Live In, which might also be described as an existential mystery, a melodramatic thriller, a medical horror film or just a polymorphous extravaganza" (Manohla Dargis, New York Times). In Spanish with English subtitles.
Pedro Almodovar---Spain---2011---117 mins.
