How was it? I dozed a bit in the middle of the film, but I was tired and that did not sit well with the afternoon projection and the middle part of movie is a bit stretched. It's true Almodovar, beautifully shot, strong colors, full of fools at edge of breaking. My wife was shocked by the sensless violence and commented that before Almodovar had loved his characters

The Skin I Live in is a very disturbing movie about plastic surgery, and if you are easily disturbed I suggest you know what you're in for. This Spanish horror movie stars Antonio Banderas as an obsessed plastic surgeon called Robert Ledgard that looks for the way to make the perfect skin and who gives a subtly eerie performance that visualizes the insanity of obsession, breaking thick boundaries to get there. Unexpectedly, the film then entirely develops into a horrific nightmare that gets more frightening as it goes along, with Robert Ledgard going to extreme lengths to create the skin as perfect as possible. There have been a lot of shocking scenes in this film that have stuck in my memory for a few days now and have troubled my mind hauntingly, and that effect on a two hour event gets my dearest respect for the courage it has to not play it safe and keep away from disturbing it's audience. The soundtrack, editing and cinematography then top it all off, creating an extremely disturbing horror movie that is repulsing and at the same time frighteningly fascinating.

It's my first Pedro Almodóvar's movie.i decided to watch other movies.İ have too much emotion while watching movie.That is power of movie.Most of users say acting is perfect especially Antonio Banderas(Robert).İ agree with them but beyond the acting the scenario is very well structured.

An absolute must see intriguing thriller. Genuinely unsettling at times but impossible to look away. Antonio Banderas gets to show us how well he can tackle a disturbing and dramatic role. You'll be so immersed in the story and it's hypnotic visuals that you won't even notice that it's in Spanish
