The Skin I Live In - Reviews

Pedro Almodóvar offers his own mad-scientist hybrid of the body-horror and kinky thriller genres, fusing David Cronenberg with Brian De Palma while keeping plenty of Almodóvar in the mix.

...high-level filmmaking. The year’s classiest horror movie.

...a luxury pulp fiction that breathes the atmosphere of the sick-room.

Banderas’ performance is a demanding one, so rich, so complex, and eventually, so very dark that it frazzles your brain stem.

...en klassisk thriller, en stiløvelse hvor kameraarbejde, musikledsagelse og skuespil over én kam hylder genrens fineste øjeblikke...

...en film som når nya nivåer av det absurda samtidigt som humorn är lika närvarande som de obekväma scenerna.
