Annual "Best Nude
Scenes" Poll
Have at it. Here's
the poll. The
Rapidshare links are
designed, of course, to
allow non-members to
participate in the poll.
You can download them if
you care to, but you
don't need Rapidshare
because you already have
access to all those film
clips in the back
issues. That's where I
got them from in the
first place!

The
Skin I Live In
(2011)
La
Piel Que Habito (The
Skin I Live In) is the
latest from Spanish
director Pedro
Almodóvar and
it's as weird as ever.
Dr. Robert Ledgard
(Antonio Banderas in his
first Almodóvar
film since 1989's Tie Me
Up! Tie Me Down! Can't
believe it's been that
long) is a world famous
specialist on growing
skin for humans who has
developed skin that can
not be harmed. He is
helping Vera Cruz (Elena
Anaya, ah
Almodóvar
couldn't resist with
Vera Cruz, could he?)
seemingly recover from
shocking injuries and
has rebuilt her skin
with this perfect skin.
One day, the doctor's
maid Marilia (Marisa
Paredes) is contacted by
her deadbeat son, who
bursts into the house
and ties up his mother
and spies Vera on the
monitors and he loses
it. She looks exactly
like someone he knew and
was supposedly burnt to
death in a fire. He
grabs Vera and rapes
her, only to be then
shot dead by the
returning doctor. The
doctor soothes Vera and
then we head back 6
years we're at a wedding
that is attended by the
doctor and his mentally
unstable daughter Norma
(Blanca Suárez).
During the night, she
sneaks off with Vicente
(Jan Cornet) where they
are about to have sex,
but Norma is confused as
to what is happening and
fights him off. Vicente
strikes her unconscious
then leaves the party,
but not before the
doctor as seen him
leave. He finds his
daughter who wakes up
and thinks he has
attacked her. He put her
in a psychiatric
hospital and finds
Vicente and kidnaps him,
taking him to a remote
place and chaining him
up. When Norma dies
tragically in hospital,
the doctor is about to
unleash one unholy
revenge on Vicente. And
that's just the start of
it... Yeah, you know I'm
an easy lay when it
comes to anything
Almodóvar does,
I've been loving his
films for about 20 years
now. The Skin I Live In
is definitely one of his
more twisted ones and
it's taken me a few days
to work out how twisted
it is. The twist is
truly fucked up and the
more I think about it,
the more fucked up it
seems. I loved the Eyes
Without A Face vibe to
opening act of the film
and it's great to see
Banderas back. Elena
Anaya (in her first
Almodóvar film,
shocking I know...) is
gorgeous in this film
and is great in the
final act. The Skin I
Live In is a very good
Almodóvar film,
not amongst his best,
but up there though,
very enjoyable and mind
boggling at the same
time ...
