Review of The Skin I Live In (2011) by Scott G — 04 Apr 2012

I know Pedro Almodovar is well regarded, and I myself has enjoyed his work, and certainly recent ones, but I most definatly rate this very highly in his cannon. this had a great story and structure, and plot points and a few turns in story coming along very nicely, it certainly keeps you thinking as to where itys going, and if indeed you could guess eventual fate of some, its hard to figure out why untill a certain point, and thats the wonmderful suprise, discover this for yourself, no spoilers.

Antonio banderas is at his top here, and at times I actually forgot itv was him, also ELena anaya as the captive girl of story doing fantastic work, and her make up, very relevent to story and charactor.

unless of course she is that perfect looking ? never boreling and beautyful looking. a great spanish film and worthy film in Almodovars cannon. so far one of the years very best.
