CloseEver since his wife was burned in a car crash, Dr Robert Ledgard (Banderas), an eminent plastic surgeon, has been interested in creating a new skin with which he could have saved her. After twelve years he manages to cultivate a skin that is a real shield against every assault.
In addition to years of study and experimentation, Robert needed a further three things: no scruples, an accomplice and a human guinea pig. Scruples were never a problem. Marilla, the woman who looked after him from the day he was born, is his most faithful accomplice. And as for the human guinea pig…
Almodóvar is a master at the peak of his powers in this enthralling thriller, with Antonio Banderas clearly relishing the opportunity to play away from type.
“Once again Pedro Almodóvar reveals his genius for turning the ridiculous into the sublime.” Time Out
