The Skin I Live In (2011) aka La piel que habito
Dir - Pedro Almodovar

Hooray! I looooooove Almodovar and he does not disappoint with this foray into a Sci-Fi/Horror/Thriller starring Antonio Banderas. I have so many things to say about this wonderful movie that I wouldn't even know where to being. Acting, story, cinematography, music... everything is just fantastic. Hopefully I'll eventually be able to find the score somewhere. The intricacies of the plot I will not go into, just see it for yourself!

The one complaint I have is the phrasing of the title. Every time I say it I want to say "The Skin In Which I Live." HA!

Send in the Clowns

The Last Circus, aka Balada triste de trompeta (2010)
Dir - Álex de la Iglesia

Saw this at Fantastic Fest and it was one of my top five of the festival. I loved it even more after this viewing. Beautifully shot and it's a wonderfully crazy tale that I hope more people get to see very soon.


A full review will be up on Gordon and the Whale soon.
