A tour de force, as Almodóvar plunges into new philosophical depths
In his latest film Almodóvar takes a qualitative jump into new philosophical depths. His usual reflections on the nature of relationships and the consequence of one’s actions take on a well- defined shape and advance forward with self-assurance.

The order in which the events of the story are told is a cunning device that allows the director to make us reflect on how superficially – indeed, skin-deep – we perceive reality and how quick we are to judge first impressions and jump to conclusions. What we first perceive one way, those initial scenes that slightly baffle us but which we nevertheless do not hesitate to judge in a specific way, take on a completely new meaning when the story pauses to take us back into the past in order to tell us about an important series of events that happened at the time which bear a direct relation to present events. The new light that is shed on the present changes completely our perception of the story as we had first witnessed it, which is a humbling experience. We are then taken back again to the present and continue watching the rest of the film, but with this completely new understanding of the real underlying motivations for the characters’ actions. It is at this point that through a slight thriller-style twist in the plot the story takes on a Shakespearean dimension as it delivers its powerful humanist lesson that vengeance begets vengeance.

Food for thought, in fact enough food to last you days and feed other people, as you are left on the one hand wondering at the concept of skin: what we actually desire when we desire someone, whether all desire is skin-deep, whether the skin does not allow us to see the person behind. And on the other hand you are left with the reflection on how the road of vengeance leads only to self-destruction. When a film leaves you pondering so deeply, I can only conclude it is a great film.

What did I just watch?
Banderas plays Robert Ledgard, a plastic surgeon wizard who loses his wife and later his only child who commits suicide after being raped. He turns his skills against the rapist and transforms the man physically into his former wife.

If you get a tad confused over that last sentence, you have just experienced La piel que habito; a farce of a movie if there ever was one. The premise of the film is so stupifyingly asinine that consequently the whole movie becomes completely unwatchable. This is mainly the case because at no point the movie actually admits it is a comedy. However, the movie is a belter were it not for the lack of a complimentary screenplay for this type of film.

What remains is a 2 hour long head-scratcher that only succeeds in insulting the intelligence of the average moviegoer who is left adrift to find some redemption over the time and money invested in this flick while aside from some brief nudity, there is none on offer.

The screenplay for the film would probably been in better hands if the Coen brothers had written it. Perhaps they will attempt to do a remake in which Jeff Bridges transforms George Clooney into Frances McDormand. They would probably get away with it too.
