Plot Summary

Dr. Robert Ledgard (Antonio Banderas) is a driven plastic surgeon haunted by personal tragedies. After many years of trial and error, he finally prefects a new skin – a shield which could have prevented the death of his wife in an accident years earlier. His latest “guinea pig” is a mysterious captive whose true identity masks a shocking mystery. THE SKIN I LIVE IN is a masterful tale of secrets, obsession and revenge from Academy Award winning writer/director Pedro Almodovar.

Top Critics' Reviews

Rotten: Despite its scalpel-like precision, pic falls short of its titular promise, never quite getting under the skin as it should. – Justin Chang, Variety, Nov 3, 2011

Fresh: Only someone as talented as Almodovar could have mixed such elements without blowing up an entire movie. – Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter, Nov 3, 2011

Fresh: "The Skin I Live In" is like a David Cronenberg horror film as made by a director who doesn't fear the body but revels in it, who is too sensual and amoral by nature to find anything truly disgusting or foreign. – Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle, Oct 20, 2011

Fresh: "The Skin I Live in'' is Almodovar reaching back to his sickest, kinkiest self, and it's nice to see him trying to luxuriate in sleaze again. – Wesley Morris, Boston Globe, Oct 27, 2011

Hooked till the end!

Awesome movie! The plot and actors very good. I almost didn't watch this movie because of it being in foreign language with subtitles but when I saw who was in it Antonio Banderas (sp) and read what the movie was about; it peaked my curiosity and I had to watch and so glad I did! Forgot it was in subtitles after watching ten minutes of the movie! If you are a little twisted and aren't afraid of taboo issues- this is the movie for you. A must see.

Woowww
