The Skin I Live In

Fabulous.  Pedro Almodovar is a twisted genius.  You don't know what is going on, and you are mesmerized by it.  Then you do know what's going on, and you are even more mesmerized.  This film has layers upon layers, but at the most basic level you have Antonio Banderas as a plastic surgeon carrying out secret artificial-skin experiments on a woman captive in his home.  Forget crap like The 13th Warrior and Spy Kids, Banderas was born to star in Almodovar films (as he has in several others).  This is a film you need to see, unless your idea of a good time is Puss in Boots, in which case this movie will most certainly make you squirm.  Be prepared to have your mind blown.
