Another world cinema movie (Spanish), which features scenes of torture, and also rape this time! (By the way I really need to stop watching movies like this otherwise people might start thinking I'm a little odd). Anyway, back to the film, The Skin I Live In is described as a drama/thriller, featuring Antonio Banderas in the lead role as Dr. Robert Ledgard, an obsessed plastic surgeon with a troubled past, which is slowly revealed as the film progresses.
In all honesty the film took a while to get into its stride,
with the first half of the film being a little slow, I was beginning to think
the film wouldn't live up to the hype. But, live up to the hype it did. The
second section of the film features a real WTF moment and resulted in me releasing
an audible 'Nooooooo,' with the realisation of what Ledgard had done as we
delve into his past (let's just say it's kind of messed up).
