La Piel Que Habito / The Skin I Live In

Review by SAPeople

Director: Pedro Almodovar

Synopsis

Robert Ledgard (played by Antonio Banderas) has genetically engineered a new type of skin – but instead of focusing on its good uses (being resistant to fire and malaria-infested mosquito bites) he uses his ‘art’ to build a memory to his wife.

Het Robert Ledgard (gespeel deur Antonio Banderas) geneties gemanipuleerde ‘n nuwe tipe van die vel, maar in plaas van om te fokus op sy goeie gebruike (weerstand teen vuur en malaria-besmette muskietbyte) gebruik hy sy “kuns” ‘n herinnering aan sy vrou te bou.

The Verdict

If you love Almodovar, you’ll love this. It has all his usual interesting characters, twists and unexpected plot lines and while rooting for the good guys you also find yourself empathising with the ‘bad’ guy too.

As jy lief is vir Almodovar, sal jy lief is. Dit het al sy gewone interessante karakters, kinkels en onverwagte plot lyne en terwyl die wortels vir die goeie ouens vind jy ook jouself empathie met die “slegte” ou.
