The Skin I Live In


   This was my first look into the world of Pedro Almodovar and I must say that I was extremely impressed.  I saw this film a month ago, so I won't write too much about it other than that I liked it quite a bit and was not ready for the twist at the end.  Almodovar has a style all his own, with futuristic, clean-looking photography that makes this film look like a modern painting.  In addition to looking great, this film really sinks deep into questions of self identity, gender and what it means to be beautiful. (not to mention the horrific crimes that take place)  I look forward to seeing some of his other films.
