I know you are excited for the premiere of “House of the dragon”. While you wait for its release, I want to recommend a gem of Spanish cinema that you should see right now at hbo max: “The Skin I Live In”. Although it is not recent (it has been on the market since 2011), I dare to say that it is not only one of the most acclaimed films of Pedro Almodovarbut also one of the best you will see in your life.
Of course, this is not just a personal assessment, since even the Quentin Tarantino has praised the film and its director. “When in the United States we talk about the great auteur writer-directors, we don’t talk enough about Pedro Almodóvar,” said the American filmmaker in an interview with Vulture in 2015.
“(In ‘The Skin I Live In’) it was him doing a horror movie and it was fucking amazing. He gave me the impression that (and I’m pretty sure I’m right) Pedro was watching ‘The Human Centipede’ and thinking, ‘You know, I know how to do this. I could do something really special with this.’ And that was ‘The Skin I Live In,’” he added.
What is “The Skin I Live In” about?
Honestly, it is impossible to compress what the ‘movie’ is about in an official synopsis. In fact, the official trailer is perfect for you to get the tone and get a taste of his narrative awesomeness. Even so, I will tell you a little about the plot.
“The skin I live in” (as it was titled in English) is starring Anthony Flags Y Elena Anaya. He—very convincingly and in a well-successful performance—gives life to a brilliant plastic surgeon. His days are spent haunted by past tragedies.
As he continues his career, medical research leads him to create a type of synthetic skin that resists any kind of damage. In the meantime, the test will be on a mysterious and versatile woman who hides the key to her obsession… I’ll only tell you so far.
An ending that will make you BOOM!
“The Skin I Live In” It’s a combination of drama, suspense, horror parts and multi-resource tinges that will undoubtedly make you question every scene. For obvious reasons I won’t tell you the ending, but I can assure you one thing: your head will be in pieces.
In other words, not only will you stay on the edge of your seat at all times, but also the closing of the film will squeeze your heart out for being very emotional. Definitely, it is a feature film that you cannot miss.
