Wow. Almodovar never fails to amaze me. This film is absolutely disturbing and fascinating at the same time. Plot twists, editing, and narrative themes that are mesmerizing. The Skin I Live In is one of those films that you can't stop watching (although it's difficult to watch at times) and also stays with you for days. Antonio Banderas is a quiet and deliberate villain, Jan Cornet and Elena Anaya play their complicated roles to perfection.
Grief is a strange thing to experience--we all cope in different ways, sometimes the way cannot be understood by anyone else. I don't want to give anything away, but Almodovar delves into a level of grief that will make you really think about your life and identity, about how all your actions have consequences, and the importance of hope and determination. Magnificent film.
