About this product

Product Information

Pedro Almodovar's finds him joining forces with Antonio Banderas for the first time in over 20 years, in an adaptation of author Thierry JonquetÆs dark 1995 novel MYGALE. In THE SKIN I LIVE IN Banderas plays Dr. Robert Ledgard, a plastic surgeon who has invented a type of fake skin that is more durable than real skin. But he achieves this breakthrough with the assistance of Vera (Elena Anaya), a young woman he's keeping locked up in his mansion. The only person who knows about this unusual arrangement is his maid, Marilia (Marisa Paredes). But his secret, as well as additional sins of the past he's desperate to keep hidden, bubble to the surface when Marila's criminal son shows up with a gun, forces his way into Vera's room, and attempts to rape her.

ReviewsThe New York Times - There are several genres nimbly folded into The Skin I Live In, which might also be described as an existential mystery, a melodramatic thriller, a medical horror film or just a polymorphous extravaganza. In other words, it's an Almod≤var movie with all the attendant gifts that implies: lapidary technique, calculated perversity, intelligent wit., New York Post - Spanish master filmmaker Pedro Almod≤var offers up a grisly Halloween trick-and-treat in his first full-out horror movie, an eye-popping and genuinely shocking gender-bending twist on Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo.''
