Provocative and challenging, if not the most subtle piece of political commentary, the film certainly cements Kaouther Ben Hania as a name to watch in Arab cinema.

Tunisia’s first Oscar-nominated film, The Man Who Sold His Skin, is an emulsion of ideas, each as ambitiously thought-provoking as the next.

While it hardly breaks new ground, “The Man Who Sold His Skin” still manages to be a breezy watch, with an assured filmmaker gently steering it through a rough-around-the-edges tale.

Intressant och gripande handling med lätt komiska inslag. Välgjord och bra cinematografi. Det faller lite på att det bara är Yahya Mahayni som gör en bra skådespelarinsats och får alla andra att verka amatörmässiga, och att slutet är värdelöst.
