THE SKIN I LIVE IN
While this has received some mixed reviews The Chronicle recommended it with 4 stars. Both Abe and I agree. This is an unusual film well cast with Antonio Banderas and the exquisite Elena Anaya. Pedro Almodovar pushes the card in this film about revenge, gender, beauty, mother/son relationships and the extremes that humans go to to pursue their obsessions. This is a beautifully shot film that is visually enticing and rewarding. Abe thought it was a dream, not a film. It had Almodovar's signature all over it. I recommend for sure.

People seeing films should turn to the critic Addie Moskowitz, since so many critics either praise or put down, and are not thoughtful enough.
