TIFF 2011: THE SKIN I LIVE IN Review

Never doubt Pedro Almodóvar.  He may not deliver a movie you like, but it will probably be a movie unlike any you’ve seen that year.  With his latest film, The Skin I Live In, he slow plays the audience. He introduces a slightly off-kilter world, but you can wrap your mind around it.  When the film gets melodramatic, you’re slightly amused but you know that Almodóvar is no stranger to that tone.  Then the movie gets a little slow, a little redundant, and dare I say a little pedestrian.  And then The Skin I Live In starts building to something.  You tell yourself…”No…that’s not going to happen.  That’s too fucking crazy.  He wouldn’t—” and then the film hits you with a twist that’s narratively sound, thematically fitting, and will leave you picking your exploded brain off the floor.
