I saw Pedro Almodóvar’s THE SKIN I LIVE IN at the Cannes Film Festival back in 2011 and I had no idea that it was essentially one longer/telenovelay version of this film. The pacing is so fast it feels like only 30 minutes happen. The surgery scenes are fantastic for the time and the mask is so simple yet scary simultaneously. My favorite scene though is when she goes to see the dogs. It’s just so sweet.
