Review of The Reflecting Skin (1990) by Helen E — 17 Aug 2009
I love all things Phillip Ridley so i'd probably be a bit biased =) It wasn't exactly what I expected though. Definitely left an impression, that's for sure. Left you thinking about the film for a fair while after.
It's very strange, wouldn't be to everyones taste. Most people would find it a bit boring, as I did in some parts of the film but it was very intense and thought provoking. Focuses on troubled and disturbed people which is very interesting to me.
Wasn't quite sure about that dead baby-fetus-thing, what was that about? And the ending was a bit abrupt and odd. Visually though it was stunning, very creepy and unsettling. If you a fan of the weird and disturbing then I would definitely recommend it =).
