Review of In My Skin (2002) by Mark S — 19 Mar 2011
Morbidly interesting and gripping extreme French drama about a woman that becomes obsessed with her skin after recieving a nasty gash to her leg which triggers her to self harm to satisfy her cravings.
It's really not for the squeamish at all and all the scenes of skin peeling and slicing were quite nauseating. It's a really well made film though by fearless female director Marina de Van, who also plays the lead and gives a brilliant performance that draws in sympathy as she struggles with her new found 'hobby', her love life and career.
Despite its sickly nature I found this film quite fascinating and worth watching for those with strong stomachs.
