The Skin I Live In (La Piel Que Habito) (2011)


The first audacious act - a plastic surgeon involved in unethical transgenic experiments holds captive in his mansion a patient in a body sock who is attacked in her cell one day by a man in a tiger costume - takes some explaining and the latter half of Almodóvar's film goes back six years to reveal how even the minutest details of this wacky situation comes to be, which works well as an analogy: how do our circumstances shape us into the creatures we are, in these body socks, tiger suits, or surgical masks we live in?

★★★★☆
