![]() Until she gets involved in a horrific accident after leaving Ledgard for another man, the brilliant scientist’s reputation isn’t completely tarnished. Played by Antonio Banderas, his relationship with his wife Gal is left to the imagination. Firstly, Ledgard whose story doesn’t suggest he might be a prolific control freak at first. The Skin I Live In can be separated into a few pieces. While sympathy is rarely given to such contemptible people, there are numerous times when this happens. ![]() Each role is inherently flawed in some way. What I loved about this was the intertwining character specifics and, that they cause a conflict of interest. The film moves between flashbacks and the present time to give background details for both Robert and his guinea pig, Vera. Released in 2011 and directed by Pedro Almodóvar, The Skin I Live in is a Spanish language movie with a totally bonkers storyline.Ī nonlinear storyline helps ease into the surprise of surgeon Robert Ledgard giving his subject a complete overhaul. Apart from those similarities The Skin I Live In is original and mostly incomparable to anything else. Both feature a surgeon and both surgeons are heavily into face-swapping to get what they want. The story has been likened to the 1960 horror film, Eyes Without a Face. If you enjoy psychological thrillers with a science-fiction edge, you can’t go wrong with either of these films. ![]() I have not specifically spoiled either film too much though. It’s impossible to talk about these two movies in full without spoiling the big reveal so If you’ve not seen either film, back away quietly. Both The Skin I Live In (2011) and Elizabeth Harvest (2018) is great examples of nightmare scenarios. ![]()
